Man arrested on suspicion of murder after 15-year-old boy dies in crash
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 15-year-old boy died in a crash following an alleged theft. Officers were called to the collision between a car and an e-bike in Middleton, Greater Manchester, just before midday on Tuesday and the boy was pronounced dead at the scene, a spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said. A 59-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. The force spokesman said officers were investigating allegations of a theft in events leading up to the collision. Another 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of theft, he said. Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Dean, from GMP's Rochdale district, said: 'This terrible incident has seen the death of a teenage boy, and we are working hard to establish the full facts of this case, in what is the very early stages of an investigation. 'A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and will be questioned in due course, while officers are already in place to support the family of the boy who has died today. 'I want to remind people that at the heart of this is a grieving family, and I would ask the community to not speculate on social media while we piece together the events of earlier today.' He appealed for any witnesses to the incident on Rowrah Crescent, or anyone with dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage to come forward. Anyone with information can contact police via 101 or through the Live Chat service at quoting log 1364 of 22/07/25.

Diogo Jota's widow posts tribute one month on from wedding
Diogo Jota's widow has paid tribute to the late Liverpool forward one month on from their wedding and three weeks after he died in a car crash in Spain. The father-of-three, who married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso 11 days before the accident, died alongside his brother, Andre Silva, after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in Zamora in the early hours of July 3. On Tuesday, Jota's wife shared three pictures of the two of them at their wedding, and wrote: 'One month of our 'until death do us part'. For ever, your white girl.' A spokesperson for the Guardia Civil of Zamora told the PA news agency earlier this month that tests being carried out by its traffic division showed Jota was driving the car at the time of the accident. The spokesperson added that the car was thought to be travelling above the speed limit on the road, which local media report is 120kmph (74mph). Pictures of the aftermath of the crash showed debris scattered along the side of the road including what appeared to be charred parts of the vehicle. Footballers, family and fans gathered for the funeral of the brothers which took place in their native Portugal on July 5.

Girl, 9, was shot in head in ‘botched assassination of Turkish gangster'
A nine-year-old girl was shot in the head in a botched drive-by assassination of a Turkish gangster, a court heard. The girl was seriously injured when a bullet lodged in her brain when the shooters missed their target as she was eating dinner with her family at the Evin restaurant in Dalston, east London, on May 29 last year. Three other men – Mustafa Kiziltan, Kenan Aydogdu and Nasser Ali, who were seated with others at a pavement table outside the busy restaurant – were hit on various parts of their bodies. Javon Riley, 33, has pleaded not guilty to four charges of attempted murder together with other suspects and an alternative charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent against the girl, who cannot be named because of her age. It is alleged he played 'a key role before, during and after the shooting'. Riley, of Tottenham, north London, carried out reconnaissance of the restaurant, travelled past the scene several times to ensure the target or targets were present before the shooting and he helped the gunman evade capture, it is alleged. The gunman has never been tracked down. On Tuesday, prosecutor James Mulholland KC told the Old Bailey: 'The prosecution case is that this was a planned assassination of members of a rival gang by Riley and others. 'This is evident from the degree of planning involved, his behaviour and comments before, during and after the event – as well as common sense. 'Those who wanted this shooting to take place put the planning of the event under Mr Riley's control, possibly with the assistance of others.' Mr Mulholland added that the shooting appeared to have been part of 'an ongoing dispute' between two rival groups in London known as the Tottenham Turks and the Hackney Turks, also known as the 'Bombacilars', but the 'immediate reason for it was unknown'. He added: 'These two gangs have had an intense rivalry for well over a decade, which has involved the use of extreme violence towards one another during that period, and it is the prosecution's case that what was intended was the murder of whomever was targeted.' Those seated outside the restaurant had affiliations with the Hackney Turks and the ones who had ordered the shooting were from the Tottenham Turks, the prosecution alleges. Mr Mulholland told the jury: 'You will hear in conversations covertly recorded in a car used by Javon Riley some time after the shooting that, although he was not a member of the Tottenham Turks, he clearly knew of them and was linked to them and that they were behind the shooting.' It is not suggested that Riley fired the shots from the Ducati Monster motorbike that stopped briefly on the road outside the restaurant. Jurors were told the rider 'raised his right arm and fired six shots in quick succession', which hit the three men sitting in a group outside, but also struck the little girl. She has had to endure several intensive operations at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the first had to be carried out the day after the shooting. Mr Mulholland said: 'Sections of her skull were removed to relieve swelling to the brain and these have since been replaced with a titanium plate. She was in hospital for three months before being allowed to return home. 'Although she has made a relatively good recovery, she will continue to have physical and cognitive difficulties throughout her life.' The wounded men were taken to Royal London Hospital where each underwent operations for serious injuries caused by bullet wounds to the thigh, leg and backbone respectively. Each appears to have made 'a reasonable recovery'. It is claimed that Riley was 'vital in the carrying out of the plan to kill'. The court heard that after the shooting, the gunman rode the motorbike to a nearby street where Riley was waiting in a stolen Nissan Juke on false plates before they 'calmly' headed to north London before transferring into Riley's Range Rover. Covert police recordings in the months after the shooting, show Riley talking about a man called Izzet Eren, who is linked to the Tottenham Turks and was shot in Moldova on July 10 last year in what was believed to be a revenge attack.
