'Perfect' boy, 15, messaged girlfriend moments before he was stabbed to death

The mum of the girlfriend of a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death outside his school gates said her daughter described him as the "perfect boy".

Sherrin James, who left flowers at the scene on Thursday, said her daughter Shyana, 16, had been going out with the boy, named as Khayri McLean, for around eight months. The 35-year-old said the pair were "literally inseparable".

Ms James added: "He was her first proper boyfriend. She absolutely adored him and he absolutely adored her. She said he was perfect."
