Christina Edkins 16, was stabbed to death at 7:37 am this morning on her way to school in Birmingham city centre.
Emergency services rushed to the scene after the bus driver reported that a passenger had been wounded
But despite frantic efforts by passengers and paramedics to resuscitate her, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 22-year-old man was arrested a short distance away on suspicion of her murder at 12.20pm, around five hours later, after a huge manhunt.
He was held in Harborne Road during a foot chase after officers spotted a man who fitted the description of the suspect acting 'furtively' at the back of Morrisons.
Recently Christina tweeted her concerns about a man she felt was acting strangely on a bus just weeks before she was killed.
The police re examining the CCTV tapes on the bus which could have filmed the murder, but are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death.
A tribute page has been set up on Facebook for 'beautiful angel'
Christina, with users calling her death 'a waste of a beautiful young
life'

May her soul rest in peace.
