Star Wars actor John Boyega on the day his 10-year-old school friend Damilola Taylor was killed: ‘It kept me up at night because I was just with the guy’

John Boyega appears in a new BBC Two documentary about Damilola Taylor, the 10-year-old schoolboy stabbed to death in Peckham, south London, on 27 November 2000. Boyega, a close friend, was among the last people to see Damilola alive. Three trials over six years cost £16m before a manslaughter conviction was secured.
