The appeal to raise funds for the funeral and memorial to Myron Yarde, the 17 year old stabbed to death in New Cross on Sunday, has raised nearly £10,000 in just a few days (see here)

Flowers and sawdust mark the scene on the corner of Camplin Street/Egmont St -
by the former Royal Archer pub (now converted to flats) |
Myron was found fatally injured in Camplin Street SE14. Two people - aged 15 and 16 - have been arrested. His mum died last year, leaving his siblings to arrange his funeral. By all accounts he was a talented up and coming musician, performing as
MDot. But the bare fact is another child killed in the streets - the third 17-year-old in Lewisham in just over six months:
Shaquan Fearon was stabbed to death in Turnham Road, Brockley, last September, a couple of weeks later
Naseem Galleze was killed nearby in St Norberts Road in a car crash during a violent incident.
