Schoolboy death 'avoidable' if teachers had known about knife

A report into a fatal stabbing at an Aberdeen school has found the tragedy was "potentially avoidable" if teachers had been told a pupil was carrying a knife.

Bailey Gwynne was fatally wounded by a fellow pupil during a fight at Cults Academy last October.

His killer was jailed after being found guilty of culpable homicide.

The report says the Scottish government should consider legal changes to give teachers more power to search pupils.

The Chairman of child and adult protection for Renfrewshire, Andrew Lowe is the author of the report, says while the fight was spontaneous and could not have been predicted, the fatal outcome could have been avoided.
