A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder and another three teenagers have been charged after a schoolgirl, 16, was stabbed to death in the middle of a quiet street in Leeds.
Chloe Watson Dransfield, from Gomersal, was attacked after a party in Austhorpe, Leeds, at 5.55am on Saturday and died in hospital shortly after.
The 14-year-old boy was arrested today and remained in custody, police said. Confirming the arrest of the 14-year-old boy, a spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: “Members of the public are reminded that this is a live investigation and are asked to refrain from making comments or suggestions which may jeopardise court proceedings.”
Kayla Smith, 18, has been charged with Chloe’s murder, along with Archie Rycroft, 19, and a 17-year-old boy who cannot legally be named. The trio appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday charged with murder.
They did not enter pleas and were remanded in custody ahead of an upcoming hearing on May 1. All three teenagers spoke only to confirm their names and dates of birth, and no applications for bail were made.
