Teen arrested at UK airport after boy, 19, stabbed to death in Powerleague car park
Three teenage boys have been arrested after a 19-year-old boy was stabbed to death in a football car park in a horrific "targeted" attack, with one suspect detained at a major UK airport. The male teenager was stabbed at a Powerleague football car park in Bury, Greater Manchester, just before 9pm on Friday night. The victim sustained several stab wounds from the horror attack on Market Street and died later from his injuries. Greater Manchester Police confirmed three male suspects, all aged 19, were arrested and one was detained at Manchester Airport at 4:30am this morning. The other two arrests took place in Bury and Bolton last night. All three suspects have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody for questioning. The investigation is being led by Greater Manchester Police's Major Incident Team. Detective Chief Inspector John Charlton said: "Even though we have three people in custody this is still a live investigation and that will continue today and into next week. This was a violent and tragic incident that was witnessed by a lot of people. "This incident will have shocked the community and distressed anyone who witnessed it, but we believe this was a targeted attack with no wider threat. "Our officers will be in the area today and over the next few days as we try to establish what happened in the lead-up to this awful incident. "We also have specialist officers supporting the family at this difficult time. If anyone has any information or was in the area at the time, they should contact us quoting log 3354-01/08/25."
