Pupils, residents and parents laid floral tributes at the station, including one mother with a son at Salesian School

'This is an incredibly difficult situation but knowing the faith, compassion and strength of our school community, I am confident that we will work together to support one another,' he said. Mr Kibble added that counsellors and an educational psychologist would be on site to provide support.

Samaritans volunteers were also offering support as pupils left school to catch the train home.

A school spokesman said they had 'no record' of the boy being bullied and could make no further comment currently.

In a statement the British Transport Police said: 'Officers were called to Chertsey station at 4pm yesterday (July 15) following reports of a casualty on the tracks.

Dozens of horrified pupils saw a 14-year-old classmate die after lying down on the tracks in front of a rush-hour train
The youngster passed his belongings to friends before jumping off the platform at the end of the school day.

Those who know the pupil – named as Sam Connor – claim he was being bullied at his Roman Catholic comprehensive.

Police were called and ushered pupils from the platform at Chertsey, Surrey, to allow specialists to get to the scene on Monday. Paramedics also attended.

'Paramedics also attended but sadly a 14-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

'The incident is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.'

The same paramedics who went to the scene in Chertsey were called to the next station on the line last night where a person had thrown themselves under a train.

The victim at Woking rail station in Surrey could not be saved and was certified dead on the tracks.

No details of the person were available last night and it was not known if there was any connection between the two deaths.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
