Stefan was repeatedly battered and stabbed by his older friend

Stefan Pakeerah, 14, was brutally attacked and killed by his friend Warren LeBlanc, 17, in February.

Leblanc was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 13 years in detention after a trial in September.

A memorial bench was unveiled by staff and students on Thursday at Groby Community College in Leicester where Stefan attended classes.

Fellow pupil Jessica Hill says it has been difficult coping with Stefan's death.

Stefan's parents had suggested after the killing that the attack was influenced by a violent computer game called Manhunt.

But Leicestershire Police said after the trial that robbery was the motive behind the attack, and not the video game blamed by his parents.
