A 15 year old British schoolgirl was tragically stabbed as she tried to intervene in a fight between a friend and her ex-boyfriend on the way to school on Wednesday.

Eliyanna, a student at the Old Palace of John Whitgift School in Croydon, met with a devastating fate as she was fatally stabbed on her way to school in a tragic incident on Wednesday, September 27. Witnesses have come forward, shedding light on the heartbreaking circumstances of the incident.

According to witnesses, the young girl was attempting to mediate a dispute between her friend and her former boyfriend. Initial reports suggested that the attack was a result of her refusal to date the boy and her rejection of his floral gift. However, it has since emerged that he was attempting to communicate with her friend.

The altercation began when the friend was in the process of returning the boy’s belongings, while he was trying to offer her flowers. The situation escalated into a violent confrontation, during which the victim bravely tried to intervene, as recounted by witnesses, reported the Daily Mail.
