Tributes pour in to ‘much-loved’ Elianne Andam, 15, knifed in ‘senseless’ attack on her way to school

The family of a 15-year-old girl stabbed to death on her way to school have spoken of their heartbreak, revealing that the aspiring lawyer had been robbed of “a great future”.

Elianne Andam collapsed after being knifed in the neck with a foot-long blade when she reportedly stepped in to protect a friend during Wednesday’s morning rush hour in Croydon.

A bus driver and passers-by battled to save the life of the Old Palace of John Whitgift School pupil but she died on the pavement minutes later.

Detectives have been given more time to question a 17-year-old boy over the murder, which they described as “every parent’s worst nightmare”.
