A chilling love note scrawled onto an envelope has been uncovered at the scene of a London schoolgirl's killing.
A 15-year-old was stabbed to death on her way to school in Croydon, south London at 8.30am today (Wednesday, September 27) and a photo shows crime scene investigators removing a letter in an evidence bag, the Mirror reports.
Part is legible, and reads: "I love you so much and I never met someone with a better smile and better eyes than what you have, special girl."
Also written on the envelope is what appears to be an instruction that says: "Read this after the brown note." It is not known who wrote the note.
Officers tracked down and arrested a 17-year-old boy in connection with the incident, at roughly 9.45am this morning.
The force believes that he may have been known to the young victim. A crime scene remains in place as detectives investigate.
Numerous reports have claimed that a teenage boy tried to give a teenage girl flowers on a bus, and she refused, before the horrific knife attack but it is not clear which girl was killed.
A bus driver and passer-by desperately tried to save a teenage girl on the pavement after horror unfolded during the school rush hour this morning.
A mother-of-two, who wanted to be named only as Bridget, said: "I was on the bus before and came off and walked back down, I saw them resuscitating her. The driver was holding her, and a lady. The emergency services were already here when I walked back."
She said two other schoolgirls, believed to be the victim's friends, were trying to get back through the police cordon but were held back.
Footage posted on social media showed several police cars and ambulance vehicles near a bus in Croydon on Wednesday morning.
Anyone who witnessed what happened who has not yet spoken to police is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 1601/27Sep.
