BREAKING: A 42-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a boy who tragically died 14 years after sustaining a severe head injury. This shocking development comes as authorities act on new evidence revealed in a recent investigation.
Lejunae Wood, from Wuppertal, Germany, was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Thursday, October 12, 2023, as he returned to the UK. The charges stem from a harrowing incident in December 2007, when Leajunne Wood, just four months old, suffered life-altering injuries in Hayes, west London. He succumbed to complications from these injuries on December 6, 2021.
Pathologist reports released in 2023 confirmed that Leajunne’s death resulted from the severe head injury he sustained years earlier, prompting the Metropolitan Police to launch a comprehensive murder investigation. Officers stated that the findings were critical in establishing grounds for the murder charge.
Lejunae Wood is set to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, October 14, 2023. This case has garnered significant attention due to the prolonged nature of the investigation and the emotional impact on Leajunne’s family.
Authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward as the investigation continues. This tragic story underscores the long-lasting effects of childhood injuries and the pursuit of justice, even years later.
