Three teenagers charged with murdering boy, 14
Three teenagers have been charged with murdering a 14-year-old boy who was stabbed near a pub in Greater Manchester. Ibrahima Seck died in hospital after he was attacked outside the Fairway Inn in New Moston at about 17:00 BST on Sunday. Three boys - two aged 14 and the other 16 - have been charged with murder and possessing a bladed article, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said. They are all due to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court later. The three teenagers cannot be named for legal reasons due to their age. GMP said a 37-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl - both arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender - had been released on bail pending further inquiries. Det Ch Insp Tony Platten, of the force'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. "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." Following his death, Ibrahima's parents paid tribute to him as a "well-liked young boy" who was "funny, caring and hard-working". After he was stabbed, Ibrahima reportedly ran to a house on nearby Nevin Road. Officers have continued to appeal for doorbell or dashcam footage and eye-witness accounts from anyone who was in the area at the time.
