A teenager has been charged over the stabbing death of a 16-year-old at a train station.
Sussex Police detectives have charged the boy, also 16, with murder after British Transport Police (BTP) officers were called to reports of a stabbing at Seaford station in East Sussex at around 5pm on Wednesday.
The accused, who has also been charged with possession of a bladed article, is scheduled to appear before Brighton Magistrate's Court on Friday.
The boy, who was found with a serious injury, died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.
In a media statement outside Seaford station on Thursday afternoon, BTP Superintendent Dominique Ioannou said: "I want to begin by expressing our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the teenage boy who tragically lost his life here at Seaford station yesterday evening."
He later added: "His family are being supported by specially trained officers, and we would ask their privacy is respected as they come to terms with this terrible news.
"We understand that this news will also be incredibly distressing for the local community.
"Please be assured that British Transport Police have launched a full investigation and are working closely with colleagues including Sussex Police to establish exactly what happened."
The stabbing is being treated as an isolated incident and police are not seeking anyone else in relation to the incident, the superintendent confirmed.
He also warned of an increased police presence while the investigation continued, and thanked locals for their patience.
