Three boys – two aged 14 and a 16-year-old – have been charged with murder over the death of a 14-year-old who was stabbed in Manchester.
Ibrahima Seck was found with stab wounds in New Moston after Greater Manchester Police were called to reports of a serious assault at around 5pm on Sunday.
The accused – who cannot be named because of their ages – have also been charged with possession of a bladed article, Greater Manchester Police said.
They have been remanded in custody to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court today.
A 37-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, have been released on bail pending further enquiries, the force added.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Platten said: «The last 48 hours has seen an extensive amount of police work, which has seen multiple officers working to help get the answers Ibrahima’s family deserve.
«Now that we have secured three charges, a new level of proceedings is active, and we will continue to work on our investigation as this progresses.
«Ibrahima’s family remain at the forefront of our minds and we will be remaining in close contact with them throughout the process.»
Police are still appealing for information and would like anyone with doorbell or dashcam footage to come forward.
