Sounds like it was a random attack.

[Marsh.]

So sad and terrifying.

That you can't go about your normal life without some sick **** doing that.

The article linked to two Big Issue sellers who were killed in Birmingham City Centre not too long ago. Just unbelievable that people could do it.

[Sarah.]

This story made me so mad. Just cannot understand how anyone could do this.

[the truth]

FFS horrific..........its come to the stage we cant even send our children on buses anymore?
this line she tweeted sounds prophetic

On February 8, she said: 'This man is worrying me on the bus keeps getting up and walking up and down stairs, and sitting in different place.'

Ive always disliked and distrusted restless angry people. I just walk away from them theyre always trouble. deeply unhappy and dangerous. I hope this is the man and if it is, may he burn in hell.


you cant ever legislate against this totally, but targetting scum with knives is a start.
I also think police in this country read to look themselves in the mirror and repriorities. quit chasing old ladies parking on yellow lines after dark, or people who pee down lanes or drop fag butss.....and remember youre here to keep the public safe by fighting serious crime.....big cities are full of gang culture still as we saw with the riots a few years ago.
these scum need to be checked for knives regularly too....also what of the drugs fight (meow meow etc) towns have night clubs packed with crackheads and no one is arrested? are the cops being [paid off by the night club owners or what? this is all part of the same culture of violence , drugs, booze and abuse

In the meantime a beautiful innocent person dies....what can one say to the family? the pain must be unbearable.....rip xxxxxx

[Ninastar]

Ugh this is really upsetting. Rip and my heart goes out to the family

Sad story. RIP Christina Edkins and my condolences go to her loved ones!

Nowhere is safe nowadays. I am from the Midlands and this is a big story around here.

Yes
Police holding him another 12 hours.



I assume if she got off the Bus
she woulkd not have died.

She could tell he was dodgy

[bbfan1991]

Some stories in the press today that the poor girl tweeted about ''this weird guy'' on the bus.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I doubt that has anything to do with the stabbing. That was a month ago and there's always weirdos on the bus

[MTVN]

Yeah won't be related, the press have just trawled through her twitter to try and get a story

True. They are still investigating various reasons as to whether she knew who did it or if it was a random attack!

[bbfan1991]

West Midlands Police confirmed that the suspect has been sectioned under Doctor's orders.

I don't want to read the poor girls Twitter, it would be too upsetting whilst I know that her life has tragically been taken away.
