The aunt of murdered teenager Eliyanna Andam today spoke of her family’s “heartbreak” at the tragic death.
Anthony King, chairman of My Ends - a project helping combat youth violence in Croydon, was with the girl's family after the incident and said they were "heartbroken". He added: "She had a bright future ahead of her. She was in her GCSE year." Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley visited the scene and said: "The senseless murder of a 15-year-old girl on her way to school is impossible to comprehend. It was moving and humbling to meet many members of the exceptional Croydon community who have come together in support of a family now dealing with the most unimaginable grief."
"We tried to catch him and a lot of people tried to save the girl. I was so shocked, I was shaken. It's somebody's daughter. I finished work but couldn't sleep, so came back, I wanted to see if the girl was OK." Mr Asare said the girl, who was wearing a green school blazer, looked as if she "didn't want the boy to come closer" before she was stabbed in the neck with a knife that was "black, thin and about a foot long".
