2. We are so being drip-fed the information on this story.

   We now know most of the pertinent info, apart from the identity of the assailant who was heard “shouting about God, and whether you believe in God.”

   Bet we don’t hear his identity before the London mayoral election tomorrow…

3. How many more little babies need to be killed before we actually do something about knife crime? Gets worse and worse each year and still we do nothing about it

4. Im so sad for this innocent child and his family and friends

5. And we still await any information about the killer.

6. It’s absolutely disgusting what’s happening in London at the moment

7. RIP to that poor poor child, and nothing but love to the family.

   This is honestly where I’m fully behind a police officer shooting to kill. Piece of shite doesn’t deserve to live.

8. So sad. Either this kid was in Bancroft’s on a scholarship and very talented, or his parents had made huge sacrifices to pay his fees to be there. And he’s been taken away from them in a completely random act of violence. It’s just horrific.
