The family of a 14-year-old who died in a violent sword attack in London have paid tribute to their 'most loved and amazing son' in a statement issued shortly after football fans paid tribute to the Arsenal-supporting boy at the Emirates Stadium.
Daniel Anjorin was killed in an attack near Hainault Underground station on Tuesday; a man with dual Spanish-Brazilian nationality has been charged with his murder.
Arsenal and Bournemouth fans paid tribute to the teenager with a round of applause during the 14th minute of their Premier League clash today - and shortly after the match, which ended 3-0 for the London side, his family issued a tribute.
The statement, released by the Metropolitan Police, remembered Daniel as a 'loving and precious brother' and 'the most loved and amazing son' - and expressed best wishes to those who were injured in the attack.
Anjorin was killed as he walked to school at around 7am - suffering a fatal head wound after allegedly being struck with a samurai sword-type weapon. He died of his injuries in hospital.
