Two teenagers have been remanded in custody, accused of the murder of 17-year-old Heckmondwike Grammar School student who was stabbed to death at Dewsbury railway station.
A promising sixth form pupil at Heckmondwike Grammar School died from a single stab wound to the back, police have revealed.
Ahmed Hassan, 17, was attacked near Dewsbury Railway Station shortly after 2pm on Saturday. In December
Ahmed, who was studying A-level Politics, Mathematics, Law and Economics, was with a friend on a Christmas shopping trip.
The school held special assemblies yesterday for sixth formers and said its thoughts and prayers were with Ahmed's family and friends.
It is planning a memorial service for the youngster, from Batley, later in the week.
Head teacher Mark Tweedle said: "Ahmed joined the sixth form at Heckmondwike Grammar School in September, 2006, and quickly impressed as a thoughtful and articulate young man who was gentle, kind and sensitive."His ambition was to read law at university and he was popular with both staff and fellow pupils.
Mr Tweedle added: "Ahmed will be greatly missed. As one of his teachers remarked If the world were full of Ahmed Hassans it would be a very much better place'.
"All members of the school community are shocked by this tragic event and saddened by the loss of a young man of great promise."
A book of condolence has been opened at the school.
Shahid Malik, Labour MP for Dewsbury, said Ahmed was a model citizen in the wrong place at the wrong time.
His friend held him until the emergency services arrived but he died soon afterwards in Dewsbury and District Hospital.
Mr Malik said the stabbing had cast a shadow over the area, which was preparing to celebrate Christmas and the Muslim festival of Eid.
He said Ahmed's family were taking strength from their faith, but added: "Eid will never be the same again for this family.
"This is a time when family and community ought to be looking forward to positive things. Right across the community, there is a real sense of grief at such a tragic loss of life."

Each night we shed a silent tear
As we speak to you in prayer.

Take our million teardrops
wrap them up in love.
Then ask the wind to carry them
to you in Heaven above.
All my love Anne xx
LONG TIME SINCE LAST POST
i am a friend of ahmeds very close friend. i never knew him, she hasn't told me about him yet either i vaguely found out about him from someone else and did my own research but i can tell that when im around her certain things i may refer to or certain places we go reminds her of him. im glad i stumbled upon this memorial site. what i have read is beutiful and touching. i haven't as of yet lost a close friend by Allah's mercy, so don't know what it feels like. but after reading these tributes, it was enough for me. just knowing that one of the anonymous posts left could be my friend makes me feel upset as i don't know what she's going through. i didn't value the hurt that much, i kind of shrugged it off and said people can get over it but ahmed's death kinda changed that view (and i dint even know the guy). i can't begin to imagine what his family are going through. iv lost people, relatives close to me in terms of bloodline and those who i have met a couple of times. but its different losing someone that you see on a regular basis. i knew it supposed hurt but i just took that as a fact not fully grasped it. I slowly understand. im not a religous muslim. I tried with good intentions to stay on the straight path but sometimes i drift off. Just knowing that Allah gives me sawaab just for having the right intention leaves me with a small sigh of releif. my heart was kind of compelled to pray a dua for Ahmed straight away and for a minute it felt like a knew him all too well. he's the kind of guy id love to chill with. iv realised the love he's got from his family and friends will keep him alive in our hearts and bring him much closer to them. i still think about the family, i mean if i had a kid and lost him like this, where do i go? what do i do? the confusion would just kill me and i couldn't bear it and i know my father or mother or sisters couldn't bear it either. i just hope that inshallah his family are safe and his mother and father are looked after and reach that stage of enlightenment within themselves so that they can reach peace.
my intention of leaving this tribute was to thank the creators of this memorial and to say sorry for the loss of The Shining Star to his family and friends. I don't think this star will ever dim. It'll just move to a better place inshallah. Im glad that this memorial has brought different people of different backgrounds together and we should illuminate this fact. I'll finish this with a beautiful quote from the holy quran and one that makes me proud to be a muslim and teaches me not to be ignorant but to be open minded and to come in terms with someone else on a common platform. it teaches me not to always say differences between each other (which i use to stress on a lot while in high school) but to stress on the similarities of each other.
"...and nearest among them (the beleivers) in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant."
The Holy Quran 5:28
May Allah bless us all and fill the remaining years of our lives with harmony
