It is every parent’s worst nightmare. Sending your child off to school and never seeing them again. This morning, a 17-year-old boy remains in police custody being questioned by detectives after a 15-year-old girl was stabbed to death yesterday.
A student at the independent girls’ school Old Palace of John Whitgift, the young girl died after being stabbed in the neck with a foot-long knife during the morning rush hour in Croydon, one witness said. Another claimed the girl was stabbed after she attempted to intervene in an argument between a friend and their ex-boyfriend.
