Boy, 14, charged with attempted murder after two teenagers stabbed
A 14-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder after two other teenagers were seriously injured in a stabbing in Merseyside. The victims, a 14-year-old girl and a boy, 15, remain in a stable condition in hospital following the incident in Whitefield Drive, Westvale, Kirkby, on Wednesday. A Merseyside Police spokesman previously said the boy suffered a number of stab wounds to the body and the girl suffered a single stab wound to the chest. Detectives believe the stabbing may be linked to an earlier dispute between youths. The 14-year-old boy has been charged with attempted murder, Section 18 wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article in a public place after his arrest on Thursday, the force said. He has been remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Youth Remand court on Friday. A second suspect, a 15-year-old boy, has also been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and Section 18 wounding with intent and remains in custody for questioning. A Section 60 order, which gives officers enhanced powers to stop and search individuals across the area and designed to prevent serious violence, remains in place in the Kirkby area until 6pm on Friday, the force said. Detective Inspector Graeme Osborne said: 'Even though we have made arrests and a charge, our investigation remains ongoing. 'We are continuing to appeal for anyone with information to come forward. Knives have no place on the streets of Merseyside and we will continue to do everything within our powers to find the people carrying and using weapons and bringing them to justice.'

Murder charge as tributes to 'loving son' killed after hit by car
Tributes have been paid to a "loving son" killed in an incident on Good Friday. Martin O'Donovan, 46, who had links to Flintshire, died following an incident on Stonyhurst Road, Woolton, Liverpool. Mr O'Donovan was seriously injured after being hit by a car. Emergency services attended the scene and Mr O'Donovan was taken to hospital, but he sadly died from his injuries. Stephen Bates, 41 years, of Herondale Road, Mossley Hill was arrested at the scene and subsequently charged with murder. He has been remanded into custody to appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday 22 April. Mr O'Donovan had links to Cilcain and Caerwys in Flintshire - living in the area for years. His family paid tribute to him. They said: "Martin was a loving, caring, fun, and intelligent son, brother and uncle, who would light up any room with his humour and presence. He lived life by his motto 'keep smiling' and was highly devoted to his family and friends. "An accomplished engineer and skilled outdoorsman, he was well-read, well-travelled, and full of light, and his wonderfully joyous spirit will live on in everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. "We are devastated that he has been taken from us in such cruel and senseless circumstances, and as we process such an overwhelming loss, we take solace in the fact that he will always be remembered for the remarkable man that he was."
