A memorial service has been held to remember a 15-year-old boy stabbed to death outside his school a year ago.

Zac Olumegbon’s family and friends gathered at a West Norwood church in memory of the teenager, who was stabbed to death outside Park Campus School, in Gipsy Road, on July 2 last year.

Zac, from Brixton Hill, died of stab wounds to his heart just after he arrived at school in the morning.

Speeches and music marked the service, which was held on Saturday, July 2.

Five teenagers are due to stand trial for his murder on September 12, at the Old Bailey.

Meanwhile, Lambeth Council is planning to hold a summit with residents who have experience in helping young people to escape gangs, community leaders, local MPs, and members of the Safer Lambeth Partnership which includes the council, police, and partner agencies, on Monday, July 18.

The move comes after a spate of youth violence in the borough, which saw gun and knife crime escalate in the past few months.

The council has also put in a bid for £280,000 of extra cash jointly with neighbouring Southwark, and the police to the Mayor of London, to help communities tackle youth violence.

They plan to match fund the bid with £100,000 of council money if the Greater London Authority (GLA) approves the bid. This could mean Lambeth will have an extra £200,000 to fight serious youth violence in the next 12 months.
