Jean Marc Dable pleaded guilty to Dylon’s manslaughter today
Dable, of no fixed address, will be sentenced on Wednesday, 11 November.
Detective Inspector Adam Callaghan, said: “Dylon’s life was taken from him in a brutal fashion and Dable will now spend a significant period of time in prison where he can no longer pose a threat to anyone.
“Dable alone made the decision to carry a knife and this, as we see all too often, has resulted in the death of another young person in London.
“Dylon’s family are devastated and little to no comfort will be felt by them today as they continue to grieve for their loved one.
“I would like to thank the investigative team who worked so relentlessly to secure a conviction.”
