From the BBC:
A teenager accused of murdering a 16-year-old boy by stabbing him outside a train station has appeared in court.
Joshua Ingram, 16, who lived in Newhaven, East Sussex, died after being stabbed in the back and side outside Seaford station at about 17:00 BST on Wednesday.
The boy charged with his murder, aged 16, who cannot be named due to his age, spoke to confirm his age and address at Brighton Magistrates' Court on Friday.
He has also been charged with possession of a bladed article and was remanded into youth detention ahead of a hearing at Lewes Crown Court.
British Transport Police, Sussex Police and paramedics were called to the scene, but the boy's injuries were "catastrophic" and he died at the scene, Joe Lewis, prosecuting, said in court.
In a tribute, his family said he was a "cheeky chappy" and "loved by many" and had been taken "far too soon".
East Sussex College, which Joshua attended, said they were "deeply saddened" to learn of his passing.
"Although Joshua had only recently joined the college, he was already part of our community and will be greatly missed," a spokesperson added.
The two teenagers are thought to have been known to each other.
