Teenage girl stabbed to death on school bus in Croydon

[Cherie]

A teenage girl has been stabbed to death in Croydon, with another teenager arrested in connection with the incident.

Police and paramedics were called at 8.30am this morning to reports of a 15-year-old girl stabbed on Wellesley Road, near the Whitgift shopping centre.

The Mirror reported that the incident occurred on a school bus.

The road has been closed northbound between the Whitgift Centre and St Michael’s Road, with a number of buses on diversion.

Videos posted on social media show a large police and ambulance presence near a bus stop.

Chief Superintendent Andy Brittain, in charge of local policing, 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.

“I am in contact with the local community, who are clearly as concerned as we are about this tragic incident. I shall continue to update them throughout the day.

Some London areas really need help. But sadly the problem is being ignored.

I just read a report that she was stabbed just after rejecting flowers from a boy she had dumped the day before. It really is scary for kids out there now :sad:

So sad for her family.....just awful

If that’s the case he need to be locked up forever …

I agree

Absolutely harrowing for those people who witnessed it too - it seems he used a machete type blade

[Cherie]

How evil and deranged would you have to be to do this to someone you purport to care about

Think there is a lot of mis reporting, just read on Sky it was a dispute over a bag?

A little off-topic but I stayed in a hotel in Croydon once (about 14 years ago) and God knows it was absolutely awful. If you’re claustrophobic you would’ve nearly died.

Judging by that Police statement, the first account might be true

Its the more likely tbh, girls have to be so careful who they date now, its only last week the mother of the 17 year old girl who was stabbed in their kitchen by her ex boyfriend was speaking about it

I always think of that quote from Margaret Atwood when I hear these types of stories in the news :

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

What ever the reason - taking a life with a machete on a bus is horrific. Nothing she could have done or said warrants anything near to being stabbed. Just horrific. Two families have lost their children today - one to a brutal stabbing and one who will hopefully be locked up for a long time.

I’ll never understand why so many girls go for the ‘bad lads’ - it’s an age-old thing as well ..

It seems to usually end up badly …


But like the women dating ManU’s Antony ..

You only have to watch him on the pitch to see he’s tetchy and completely unpredictable and has a vicious temper .

We unfortunately do suffer with a Knife Epidemic, we need to find methods to mitigate this issue.

The ones that women want to watch out for are the guys that claim to be "nice guys" because it could mean that they're a psychotic Incel.

They can become just as suspicious to women as the rest of us.:joker:

But seriously, I don't get how some young men can't handle rejection? I don't know if it's because when I was younger I would normally be given more realistic goals that I haven't turned out like the Machete guy, or if there's something in the Water with younger generations, but I don't think that I can remember anyone when I was at School wielding around a Machete because a girl told him "no" or vice versa where a guy rejected a girl.

It's really bizarre how society has gone in terms of relationships and sex.

To be fair, society used to be a lot worse when it comes to this sort of thing. The main negative difference now is that knives are part of it. Before that it was spiking (which still happens) and before that legal rape from a woman’s husband (sick on another level). People have always been bad like that.

I don’t think that’s the reason behind people transitioning that way.

[Redway]

Clamp down on knife-crime, the government will not. But let’s stop anyone born after 2009 from legally being able to buy cigarettes with their money. Makes perfect sense.

And how’s that working out for ’em? Is it enough to just rely on that and Top Boy (which is a great, great show) to do the job?

Yeah, well, let’s not. A young girl’s been knifed to death and you think it’s appropriate to crack semi-transphobic jokes?

It was an afterthought wisecrack moment … don’t look too deep into it .

I’d said previously that the guy should be imprisoned FOREVER .. is that serious enough ?

Fair point.

It does seem to be an increase in fatality when it comes to relationship drama now though.

However I agree with you that the spiking and Domestic Abuse/rape has always been unfortunately a common sets of crimes within society.

These Evil Zombie type knives
are kept in bags,
just reported the kids do not
take them in school.

They leave them in a second bag
left outside the school in the bushes.
