Three teenagers have been charged with the murder of a 14-year-old boy who was stabbed in Manchester.
Ibrahima Seck died in hospital on Sunday after police were called to reports of a serious assault in Nevin Road, New Moston, at about 5pm.
Two boys aged 14 and a 16-year-old boy will appear from custody at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday charged with his murder and possession of a bladed article, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
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 inquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Platten, of GMP’s major incident team, 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.
