A 17-year-old boy continues to be questioned by detectives after a 15-year-old girl was stabbed to death on her way to school in an attack described by the Met police commissioner as “impossible to comprehend”.
The girl, named locally as Eliyanna, died after being attacked during the Wednesday morning rush hour in Croydon, south London, on her way to the private Old Palace of John Whitgift school for girls, where she studied.
