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 15-year-old girl who was stabbed to death outside a bus was a pupil at the Old Palace of John Whitgift School.
"Above all, we send our love and deepest sympathies to the girl's family at this unimaginably distressing time." "The driver was holding her and a lady. The emergency services were already here when I walked back."Michael Fyffe told Sky he was on his way to work when he saw a"commotion" and was told the girl had been stabbed."There were loads of people who had just come off the bus and then I think two of the girl's friends came out and they were trying to rush over towards the body.
Chief Superintendent Andy Brittain said:"Our immediate thoughts are with this young girl's family who are facing the most tragic of news. Our officers are with the girl's family to support them.
