The second student victim of the attack in Nottingham has been named as Grace Kumar.
Grace is understood to be one of two 19-year-olds killed in the attack in the city centre this morning, NottinghamshireLive reports.
It is said she was walking home from a nightclub with the other student victim, Barnaby Webber, when they were stabbed in Ilkeston Road.
The University of Nottingham said Grace was a talented hockey player in the first team.
