A 15-year-old boy has appeared in court accused of attempted murder after a double stabbing which left one teenager fighting for life.

The youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is also accused of grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article over the incident at Kingsdale Foundation School on Thursday.

He appeared to be crying in court on Saturday after an application for bail was refused.

Two other 15-year-old boys were stabbed at the school in Alleyn Park, Dulwich, south-east London.

One teenager was left in a critical condition and the other taken to hospital with minor injuries. Police said on Saturday that he remains critical in hospital.

The incident happened shortly before 3.30pm, and pupils were kept inside buildings as emergency services dealt with the situation.

The defendant was allowed out of the dock for the brief hearing and sat next to his mother in the body of the court.

An application for bail was refused after which he put his head on his arm and seemed to be weeping.

He was remanded in youth detention accommodation by District Judge Timothy Stone at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court in south London.

He will appear next at Woolwich Crown Court on December 18.
