He is due to appear at the city's Sheriff Court tomorrow.

Bailey Gwynne was stabbed yesterday lunchtime and later died in hospital.

At a news conference this afternoon, Aberdeen City Council Leader Jenny Laing expressed her condolences to his family and friends.

“The loss of a young life so full of potential is always a great tragedy, but these circumstances are particularly distressing, as it occurred in a place of learning, friendship and community.”
