The girl was repeatedly stabbed outside a bus after the attacker produced a knife from his pocket in a dispute over a bag, a source tells Sky News.
A 17-year-old boy has been arrested after 15-year-old girl was stabbed to death outside a bus on her way to an independent girls' school.
Chief Superintendent Andy Brittain said at a press conference from the scene:"This is every parent's worst nightmare."And I know the officers who responded this morning, along with our emergency service colleagues, are devastated at the victim's death. This is an emotion I share, and I know people across Croydon will be feeling the same."
"I was on the bus before and came off and walked back down, I saw them resuscitating her," said the mother-of-two who gave her first name as Bridget."The driver was holding her and a lady. The emergency services were already here when I walked back." The girl was a pupil at the Old Palace of John Whitgift School, which last week announced it would close in August 2025.
