A teen accused of stabbing Elianne Andam to death will be asked to enter pleas on March 8. 

The 17-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because of his age, is alleged to have murdered Elianne as she made her way to school in Croydon. 

Elianne had met up with two female friends on September 27 last year before she was fatally attacked. 

It is claimed her attacker wearing a mask and gloves had removed a large knife from his waistband and stabbed Elianne repeatedly. 

As he fled the scene, others attempted to administer first aid but Elianne could not be saved. 

Multiple stab wounds were identified in a special post-mortem examination. 

The defendant was arrested in New Addington at 9.45am the same day. 

He was later charged with murder and having a knife. 

He was due to enter pleas at the Old Bailey on Wednesday (February 28) but the case was adjourned until March 8.
