Tributes were paid today to a 16-year-old girl stabbed to death as she travelled to school on a busy bus in Birmingham city centre.
Christina Edkins was attacked on the top deck of the number 9 First West Midlands service as it pulled into a stop on the Hagley Road at 7.37am.
She had only been on the bus for a matter of minutes as she made her way to Leasowes High School in Halesowen.
Officers and paramedics rushed to the scene after the bus driver reported that a passenger had been wounded.
But despite frantic efforts to resuscitate her, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 22-year-old man was arrested a short distance away on suspicion of her murder at 12.20pm - around five hours after the attack.
He was held near Morrisons in Harborne Road during a foot chase after officers spotted someone acting 'furtively' who fitted the description of the suspect.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
