Cops also arrested a second man aged in his 50s , who has now been released without charge.

The horror unfolded on Sunday night ahead of a ban on zombie knives coming into force.

They found Daejaun with a stab injury to the thigh and he died a short time later despite the best efforts of emergency services.

A note from his heartbroken mum at the scene read: "Love you always and forever. Sleep tight my baby boy.”

While friends of the youngster said he had a “big heart” as they paid their respects near the scene.
