Two teenagers charged following murder of 15-year-old Khayri McLean

Two teenagers, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with the murder of Khayri McLean.

The schoolboy was stabbed outside the entrance of North Huddersfield Trust School on Wednesday.

In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said: ‘Detectives investigating the death of a 15-year-old boy in Huddersfield have charged two males with murder.

‘Both males, who are 15 and 16 and from Huddersfield, have also been charged with possession of a bladed article.

‘Both have been remanded in custody to appear before Leeds magistrates tomorrow.

‘The charges relate to the death of Khayri McLean, who died after he was stabbed in Woodhouse Hill, Huddersfield, last Wednesday.’

Following the 15-year-old’s death, a GoFundMe page was set up to give Khayri ‘the best send off’.

It came after the schoolboy’s headteacher Andrew Fell described him as a ‘wonderful student’.

Khayri’s girlfriend, Shyana James, 16, had been speaking with him on Snapchat moments before he died.

Earlier this week, she said: ‘He would drop anything for you and he’d do absolutely anything for anyone.

‘He was going home to get changed then he was going to come to mine.

‘He was the love of my life. He was just the best person I knew.’
