A 15-year-old boy who died after a stabbing near a school in Leeds has been named as Alfie Lewis. The teenager was attacked on St Margaret's Avenue in the Horsforth area of the city on Tuesday, according to the head of a nearby school. Police said two teenage boys have been arrested, and a murder investigation is under way. Tributes have been paid to Alfie online and at a local church. Paul Bell, head of Horsforth School, had earlier confirmed that the victim was a former pupil.
People were also seen hugging each other, with some wiping away tears at a candlelight vigil on Tuesday. A gofundme page has raised more than £5,000 so far for Alfie's family. The page described the teen as a 'kind and thoughtful boy who had all of his friend's best interests at heart'.
