The youngster died from a single stab wound having been allegedly attacked by the youths in New Moston, north Manchester, at around 5pm on Sunday, The Manchester Evening News reports. He ran to a nearby house but despite the efforts of emergency services and staff from an air ambulance, he was pronounced dead in hospital less than an hour later, the court heard. None of the accused can be identified because they are aged under 18. They are all also accused of possession of a bladed article. Two of the accused, one aged 14 and the 16-year-old, were first brought into the dock at the court for brief hearings on Wednesday morning. Both spoke to give their names and addresses, and the younger boy, wearing a grey tracksuit, had his aunt and uncle in court sat alongside lawyers. The older boy, who had his mother and a social worker in court, wore a blue tracksuit. Rebecca Macauley-Addison, prosecuting, gave a brief outline of the charges to magistrates, telling the court Ibrahima was on his way to play football in a local park in New Moston when he was stabbed. The prosecutor said a post-mortem examination had concluded the cause of death to be a single stab wound and Ibrahima was pronounced dead just under an hour after the stabbing.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News, police closed off the scene and remained in attendance outside the pub on Monday. A property on nearby Warbeck Road has also been sealed off. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Ibrahima's family by Dawn Frimpong. She wrote: "I had the honour of working with this young man, in a school, where he was very well loved. "He was a beautiful soul who had the most infectious smile and you couldn't help but laugh with him. He will be missed by so many. I am attempting to raise as much money as possible for Ibrahima's family so they are not worrying about financial burden at this very difficult time. "We must stand together as communities in times like this and offer support no matter how big or small. Any contribution would be very greatly received." Miss Whittaker told the M.E.N. she taught Ibrahima at Manchester Community Primary Academy for two years. "Ibrahima was the most beautiful boy," she said. "He touched my soul and he had such a beautiful heart. I'm devastated beyond words." A neighbour of Ibrahima's, who did not want to be named, told our sister title that he was the youngest of three siblings. She said: 'He was so young, it's so very, very sad. I cannot understand what this country is coming to.' The woman said the family had lived on her street, a short distance from the Fairway Inn, for a 'couple of years' and she spoke to Ibrahima's parents as neighbours. 'I heard about it last night' she added. 'I heard the helicopter last night then I read about it on the news. Then a police car pulled up and they went inside. That's when we knew. "Another neighbour who knows the family very well said it was the youngest one. I felt sick. So very, very sick. I just couldn't believe that had happened to a family like that. It's so sad, bless them. There's not much we can, just offer our condolences and be there if they need anything.' Tributes have also been left at the scene where Ibrahima was attacked, alongside flowers and messages of support for his family. One note said: "From one mother to another, I know there are no words that can ever ease your pain. "But I pray God gives you the strength to face each new day. Please know that as a community we hold your family in our hearts." Another said: "Things need to change! Knives down, gloves up! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this horrific time. There are good people in this city! We pray for your son." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
