A murder investigation has begun its second day after a boy died following a stabbing in north Manchester.
Police taped off an area outside the Fairway Inn, on Broadway in New Moston, yesterday (June 8).
The 14-year-old victim, who has since been named as Ibrahima Seck., was seen running to nearby Nevin Road following the attack.
Emergency services were called out to the scene at around 5pm on Sunday evening.
Greater Manchester Police said a number of crime scenes had been put in place as the murder investigation was launched.
The Fairway Inn remains cordoned off this morning (Monday).
In an update, GMP has confirmed the boy was found with stab wounds on Nevin Road.
He was rushed to hospital, where he sadly died despite the best efforts of emergency services, including the air ambulance team.
Three boys, two aged 14 and one aged 16, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. A 14-year-old girl and a 37-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
