A post-mortem examination has found \u00a0teacher Ann Maguire killed at a Leeds school died from multiple stab wounds.<\/h1>\n

Ann Maguire, 61, who taught at Corpus Christi Catholic College for more than 40 years, had been due to retire in September.<\/p>\n

Police say they will be interviewing the 15-year-old held in connection with her death at some point during the day.<\/p>\n

Due to his age, officers said this would have to be handled sensitively.<\/p>\n

The students who witnessed the incident are being interviewed by specialist officers.<\/p>\n

The authorities have also stressed the fatal stabbing is an isolated incident.<\/p>\n

Detective Superintendent Simon Buldon said: “This is clearly an unprecedented and tragic incident that’s left the school and wider community in a state of shock.”<\/p>\n

The school’s chair of governors Martin Dowling said: “This has been a shocking but isolated incident.<\/p>\n

“Ann was a wonderful, dedicated teacher and will be remembered fondly by all of us.”<\/p>\n

School head Steve Mort said: “Ann Maguire was a wonderful, caring individual. She was an outstanding teacher and an outstanding leader.<\/p>\n

“She’d been a cornerstone of the school community for 40 years, she’d touched the hearts of three generations of pupils.”<\/p>\n

Mr Mort also did not think detectors were necessary, adding that the school was a “safe environment”.<\/p>\n

He added: “And I think ultimately Ann Maguire herself, if she was asked that question, would strongly oppose any suggestion that we should have metal detectors in this school.”<\/p>\n

The school opened as normal on Tuesday to allow staff and students to remember Mrs Maguire, and support each other.<\/p>\n

Children began arriving early to add tributes to the more than 200 bouquets of flowers that cover the railings outside the gates.<\/p>\n

Mrs Maguire was also remembered at a service in the neighbouring Corpus Christi Church.<\/p>\n

Monsignor Paul Fisher said: “Today we pray for the light of hope: hope for ourselves that eventually we will come to terms with what has happened.<\/p>\n

“We offer prayer too for the family of the man who unfortunately did what he did.”<\/p>\n

Officers were called to the school just before noon on Monday after a report a member of staff had been stabbed. A knife was recovered from the scene.<\/p>\n

Around 30 pupils witnessed Mrs Maguire, who is believed have two grown-up daughters, being stabbed repeatedly in class.<\/p>\n

Some reported hearing screams as other members of staff rushed to her classroom and restrained her attacker.<\/p>\n

Her death is the first time a teacher has been stabbed to death in a British classroom.<\/p>\n

Head teacher Philip Lawrence was murdered outside a school in Maida Vale, London, in 1995 when he went to help a pupil who was being attacked.<\/p>\n

A recent media investigation revealed almost 1,000 pupils were caught with weapons including guns, axes and a meat cleaver in schools in the last three years.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 12)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
