Two teenage boys have appeared in court charged with the murder of 15-year-old Khayri McLean, who was stabbed outside his school in Huddersfield on Wednesday.
The boys, 15 and 16, were also charged with possession of a bladed article.
Khayri died in hospital after an attack near the entrance of North Huddersfield Trust school in Woodhouse Hill at 2.45pm on Wednesday.
The teenagers, who are both from Huddersfield, were charged on Sunday and remanded into custody until Monday’s hearing.
At Leeds youth court on Monday, the boys spoke only to confirm their names, addresses and dates of birth. They were remanded into custody until Wednesday when they will appear at Leeds crown court.
Floral tributes, candles and balloons were left at the scene of the stabbing on Friday. Khayri’s girlfriend, Shyana James, 16, and her mother, Sherrin James, 35, visited the scene.
Sherrin James said on Thursday that her daughter had been going out with Khayri for about eight months. She said they had been inseparable, adding: “He was her first proper boyfriend. She absolutely adored him and he absolutely adored her. She said he was perfect.”
