Schoolboy, 14, pleaded 'I don't want to die' as he was held by passers-by after being stabbed in broad daylight - as police arrest four in murder probe
The tearful parents of a 14-year-old boy stabbed to death outside a pub in New Moston today left a picture of their dead son Ibrahima Seck alongside floral tributes. His mother and other relatives wept as they embraced a couple living in the next street into whose arms Ibrahima collapsed as he staggered away desperately pleading 'I've been stabbed'. A man who tried to save Ibrahima's life when the bleeding schoolboy ran to his front door said: 'It was just awful - the lad died in my arms. 'He had tried two other houses but they wouldn't do anything. At least we tried to help him. Just be thankful you don't have to live around here, there's too many gangs.' Police said two boys aged 14 and 16 are under arrest on suspicion of murder and a girl, 14, and woman, 37, are being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. The teenager ran to a house nearby in New Moston after being injured, telling the resident, 'I don't want to die, according to the Manchester Evening News. 'He just came through the door and said 'I've been stabbed'. 'We sat him down on a chair and phoned an ambulance,' the resident told the newspaper. 'He just kept saying 'I don't want to die.'' Despite the efforts of the emergency services and staff from an air ambulance, the boy died in hospital. Officers were first called to Nevin Road, New Moston, at about 5pm on Sunday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said. Police said early investigations established the identities of possible suspects and after attending a nearby address, the woman was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. A short time later the two boys were arrested on suspicion of murder. The teenage girl was arrested overnight, GMP said. All four remain in custody for questioning. Detective Chief Inspector John Charlton of GMP said: 'This incident will have shocked and saddened the local community, and distressed anyone who witnessed it. 'We are deploying significant resources to this murder investigation, and this led to quickly identifying potential suspects. 'We are still trying to establish the full circumstances around the incident - there will be a large police presence and several scenes in place while we continue to investigate this horrific incident.
