    The CCTV camera facing the Bellingham street were a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death earlier this month has faulty wiring causing it to “trip out”, it has emerged.

    Jay Hughes (pictured), who has been described as “sweet and caring,” died from a stab wound to the heart after he was attacked outside Morley’s chicken shop in Randlesdown Road on 1 November.

    But the CCTV facing Randlesdown Road “trips out occasionally and sometimes at difficult times”, cabinet member for safer communities Cllr Joani Reid explained at a Lewisham Council mayor and cabinet meeting.

    Lewisham Council did not clarify whether the CCTV was fully functional at the time of the murder, but footage shared online claims to depict the moment the 15-year-old was stabbed.

    This comes as the council’s plans to save £161k through dropping CCTV footage viewing from 24 hours to 12 hours a day was progressed.

    Bellingham ward councillor Alan Hall implored cabinet members to re-think the proposal, and said he had been told the CCTV does not work in Randlesdown Road.

    A 21-year-old woman was arrested yesterday in connection with Jay Hughes' death and has been bailed pending further inquiries until mid-December.

    “There are problems on that side of the park and the other side but not here. They know us. They know what we are about.”

    Police have renewed their appeal to find the killer of a Polish man who was found dead in Clapham a year ago.

    Piotr Woroneicki, 32, was discovered on Parma Crescent on 23 November 2017 at 05:20.

    He was last seen alive at New Covent Garden Market shortly before midnight.

    A special post-mortem examination held in July gave the cause of death as compression to the neck, consistent with the victim being held in a headlock for a long period.

    Det Ch Insp Mark Cranwell said drugs and almost £100,000 in cash was found in Mr Woroneicki's flat, "which leads us to believe he may have been involved in some form of criminality and that his death may be linked to an organised crime syndicate."

    However, he added that "this has not yet been proven".

    A reward of up to £10,000 is being offered by the independent charity Crimestoppers for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
