A post-mortem examination on New Year’s Eve found the cause of death to be a haemorrhage and a stab wound to the heart.
His next of kin have been informed of the arrests and continue to be supported by specialist officers, the Metropolitan Police said.
Thomas, of Bournemouth Road, south-east London, and the 16-year-old will appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
