Daniel Anjorin, was a student at Bancroft's school, in Woodford Green, Essex, which is still reeling from losing the former student Grace O'Malley-Kumar in a triple stabbing in June 2023.
Last night police charged Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, 36, with Daniel's murder. He was also charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary, and possession of a bladed article.
He will appear at Barkingside magistrates court today.
It is believed Daniel was attacked close to his home in Hainault on his way to classes at about 7am on Tuesday. One witness described how the teenager had left his house and put on earphones. There was a shout from a resident, warning of danger because a man had a sword, and then the schoolboy fell to the ground, having been stabbed.
In a statement, Daniel's school told of the devastation felt by pupils, staff and former students. "This has left us in profound shock and sorrow," the school said. "Daniel joined Bancroft's at seven years old and quickly became a core member of our community.
He was a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits.
"His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us. Losing such a young pupil is something we will always struggle to come to terms with. We are now doing all we can to support our entire community through this most painful situation."
Daniel's mother worked at the Holy Family Catholic school in Walthamstow, east London. A statement on the school's website said: "It is with great sadness that I share with you the news of the death of the child of one of our staff members.
