The family of schoolgirl Elianne Andam paid tribute to the "light of their lives" after she was brutally stabbed to death yesterday morning.

They issued a statement through police, and said: "Our hearts are broken by the senseless death of our daughter. Elianne was the light of our lives. She was bright and funny, with many friends who all adored her. She was only 15, and had her whole life ahead of her, with hopes and dreams for the future.

"We have recovered CCTV from the area and have spoken to a number of witnesses. Forensic scientists have also examined the scene. From these inquiries we are now confident Elianne was attacked outside in Wellesley Road near to the bus stop rather than on board the bus.
