Three men will appear in court on Monday charged with the murder of a schoolboy in Cumbria.
14-year-old Jordan Watson was found stabbed to death in Upperby Cemetery on Tuesday with multiple stab wounds to the head and neck, in what police have called a savage and brutal attack.
18-year-old George Thomson, Brahnn Finley, 19, and Daniel Johnston, 19, will appear before magistrates.
The Bishop of Carlisle, the Rt Revd James Newcome, said: "All our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Jordan at this time.
"Through times of trial and deep hurt, it is good to know that the love of Christ is there for everyone.
"I pray that God's love will provide comfort to all those who held Jordan so dearly."
A book of condolence was opened at St Herbert's Church in Carlisle earlier in the week for the murdered teenager.
