HEARTFELT tributes have been paid to a 'beautiful boy' who died after being stabbed in High Wycombe town centre.
Police were called to Easton Street near the main car park at 7.30pm to reports of a stabbing.
Despite the efforts of the emergency services, 17-year-old boy Cameron Bailey died at the scene on Sunday, May 7.
Another boy, also aged 17, was wounded and taken to hospital.
A trial date has been set for three men accused of murdering Cameron. Philip Solomon, 37, of no fixed address, Aaran Pattinson, 32, of Old Tea Warehouse, High Wycombe, and Scott Cordice, 29, of the same address, have been charged with murder.
Solomon and Pattinson are also accused of wounding another 17-year-old boy with intent and conspiracy to rob Mr Bailey and two others. Co-defendant Marlon Cato, 49, of Station Close, High Wycombe, also appeared in court charged with assisting an offender.
