Sofyen Belamouadden was stabbed nine times in a 12-second attack after being chased by a gang.
One of his teachers said Sofyen had a wonderful sense of humour. He was not himself a member of any gang and was unarmed when he was attacked.
The gang that killed Sofyen came from another school in Ladbroke Grove on the route of the Notting Hill Carnival.
Pupils from both schools travelled through Victoria Station daily and the St Charles pupils had come to regard it as part of their “home territory”.
The night before the killing, there had been a small fight between youths at the Station.
One of the gang ended up with a bloodied nose and the fight had been broken up by Police, who had increased patrols in the area due to the tensions.
