15-year-old student charged with murder of Leeds teacher

A 15-year-old schoolboy has been charged with the murder of a teacher who was stabbed to death at a school in Leeds.

Anne Maguire, 61, died from multiple stab wounds after being attacked by a student at Corpus Christi Catholic College on Monday.

The suspect will appear at Leeds Youth Court on Thursday and then will have a bail hearing at Leeds Crown Court on Friday.

Maguire was due to retire in September after a 40-year teaching career, and was a well-liked member of staff at the school. Hundreds of pupils and well-wishes have left tributes and flowers outside the school gates in her honour.
