A community is grieving the loss of 17-year-old Vonde Bowers, whose life was cut short in a fatal stabbing earlier this week.

In tribute, mourners have placed a wreath and a cricket bat at the location where his body was discovered.

Bowers, a student at Ottos Comprehensive School, aspired to become a professional cricketer.

A teenager has since been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
