Two 14-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy were today charged with murder and possession of a bladed article after a boy was fatally stabbed in Manchester.

Ibrahima Seck, 14, was found with stab wounds after Greater Manchester Police were called to the New Moston area on Sunday at 5pm to reports of a serious assault.

Despite the efforts of the emergency services and staff from an air ambulance, the boy died in hospital.

The three charged boys, who cannot be named at this time for legal reasons, were remanded in custody to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court today.

A 37-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have both been released on bail, pending further enquiries.
