Star of Star Wars was last to see Damilola Taylor alive: Murdered boy's father reveals Stormtrooper actor John Boyega was little lad seen in haunting CCTV moments before his son was stabbed


Damilola's father, Richard Taylor has revealed actor John Boyega (right) and his sister Grace were the two children seen on CCTV (pictured middle) with Damilola (left) just moments before his death in November 2000. The youngsters grew up on the same tough estate in Peckham, south east London, and the siblings were the last people to see Damilola alive before he was attacked with a broken bottle. The Boyega family were close to Damilola and his parents, and Grace had looked out for him after he arrived in Britain in 1999. The schoolboy - who had only arrived in Britain from Nigeria four months previously - was found bleeding to death in a stairwell. Brothers Danny and Ricky Preddie, aged 12 and 13 at the time, were convicted of his manslaughter six years later.
