Pupils in school uniform ‘knifed boy to death’

A GANG of children still wearing their school uniforms chased and killed a 16-year-old boy last May, a court was told yesterday.

Nicholas Pearton died from a knife wound to his heart after the group of mainly 15 and 16-year-olds, armed with knives and other weapons, pursued him through a park in south-east London.

“He was unable to escape. When he was caught, he was stabbed and killed,” prosecutor Edward Brown told the Old Bailey.
