Teenage girl stabbed to death on school bus in Croydon
 

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.

Early this morning

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

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

Croydon’s a job for Jesus. Always has been.

Poor girl.

It's a rough area that's for sure. I've never been there and I have no intention to go.

****ing hell, that's awful

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

very awful to read this :(

Where do all these rumours start?

tbh its journalists reporting misinformation alot of the time

There should be a law against making up stuff like this and harsh penalties

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.

There's a nice Travelodge near my workplace for next time :laugh:

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 .

Evil coward.

That's awful news.

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.

This is why people like Andrew Tate and his subjugation ideology movement is so dangerous.

What a tragic story….it’s frightening.
