Stabbed Teacher's Family Face Suspect In Court

A teenage student has appeared in court charged with murdering teacher Ann Maguire at a school in Leeds.

The 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attended the five-minute hearing at a youth court in the city.

Mrs Maguire's husband and two daughters held hands as they sat in the public gallery, metres away from the alleged killer.

Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt, in Leeds, said: "The teenager didn't have to say anything and appeared in the dock wearing a dark jumper and trousers.

"He showed no obvious signs of emotion as he was asked whether he understood the charge of murder, to which he nodded in response."

Mrs Maguire was stabbed as she taught at Corpus Christi Catholic College

The youngster was remanded in custody ahead of a bail hearing at Leeds Crown Court on Friday.

Earlier, Mrs Maguire's family issued a moving tribute to the 61-year-old, describing her as a "shining light who brightened the world for so many".

They said she was "a loving wife, the best mother, a treasured sister (and) a true friend", adding: "This horrific happening has robbed us of all of this and so much more.

"We are devastated. Her selfless, genuine, caring nature will remain with us eternally."

Mrs Maguire had worked at Corpus Christi Catholic College for more than 40 years and was due to retire later this year.

She taught Spanish at the school and was also in charge of Year 11.

Headteacher Steve Mort praised students for their handling of Mrs Maguire's death.

He also thanked the public, many of whom have laid flowers among the hundreds of bouquets left by students at the school gates, for their "overwhelming" support.

"I'm immensely proud to be headteacher at Corpus Christi," Mr Mort said.

"Our children have proven themselves to be great ambassadors for the school.

"I want to pay particular tribute to them and to the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by our staff at this very difficult time."
