The heroic boyfriend of a 15-year-old girl who was stabbed to death outside a takeaway fought hard to save her life according to the teen's devastated mum. Holly Newton and the unnamed 16-year-old boy were reportedly attacked outside Pizza Pizza in Hexham Northumberland just after they left school on Friday.
Both of them were taken to hospital to be treated for stab wounds but Holly sadly didn't make it and passed away a few hours later, the Mirror reports. The teen's heartbroken mother has issued a gratitude message to the boy on Facebook as she wrote: "I can never thank him enough for trying to save my baby girl."
Another 16-year-old who's believed to have known the victims has been charged with murder, attempted murder and possession. He can't be named for legal reasons and is due to appear before magistrates in Newcastle on Monday.
