A teenage boy ‘knifed a 15-year-old girl to death with a machete after an argument that began with him trying to give her flowers’ while she was getting a bus to her £19,350-a-year private school in south London today.

The victim, a pupil at Old Palace of John Whitgift School in Croydon, was attacked at 8.30am – less than a mile away from the school gates.

Locals say they saw a group of schoolchildren getting off the No 60 bus outside the Whitgift Centre, where a row between the girl and boy ‘spilled out’ onto a street busy with pedestrians.
