The following article is so sad and he looks like such a sweet looking young man. He had his whole life ahead of him and so much potential.

It really is time that someone did something to shake up the laws here because this country is going to the dogs. No one feels safe anymore and no suprises.

A football club has paid tribute to one of its youth team players who was killed outside his school.
Kiyan Prince, 15, was stabbed close to the gates of the London Academy in Edgware on Thursday.

Queens Park Rangers described Kiyan as "one for the future", and said that he would be "sorely missed".

The school's principal, Phil Hearne, said children and staff were devastated at the death of "a young man who had the whole world in front of him".

Flowers have been laid by pupils and staff by the spot where Kiyan was killed.

The killing comes a week before a national appeal to get people to hand in any knives they may have. This is part of a scheme to cut the amount of knives on the streets.

It's important to remember that this kind of incident is very rare, and schools are very safe places.

Police have launched a murder inquiry and said no arrests had been made and no weapon had been found.

Another boy, thought to be aged about 16, was seen running away from the area towards Salisbury Court.

Mr Hearne said there were no gangs at the school and the attack had left pupils angry.
