They are Ahmed Adam, 18, of Mardale Close, Kempston; Bennett Ndenkeh, 18, of Midland Road, Bedford; and two other males aged 16 and 17, who can’t be named for legal reasons.

In a tribute last week, Chris Deller, the headteacher of Bedford Academy, said: "We are deeply upset and shocked to hear the sad news that a Bedford Academy student has lost their life. Thomas was a popular, well liked, and respected lad who finished Year 11 with a strong set of results, before going on to study at sixth form.

"Our focus now is on supporting the family through such a difficult period, whilst helping our students and wider community to come to terms with such a tragic loss.”
