Boy stabbed to death was 'funny, caring and hardworking', family say
A "funny, caring and hardworking" 14-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in north Manchester has been named as Ibrahima Seck. Ibrahima was found with stab wounds in New Moston after Greater Manchester Police were called to reports of a serious assault around 5pm on Sunday. Despite the efforts of the emergency services and air ambulance staff, he died in hospital. In a statement released by Greater Manchester Police, the teenager's parents said: "Ibrahima was a well-liked young boy. He was funny, caring, and hardworking. "He was our best friend." They added: "He was so smiley and always made everybody laugh. He was a good boy. "Why would anyone do this to him? He does nothing wrong." Police have detained a 14-year-old boy on suspicion of murder after having arrested two boys aged 14 and 16 on suspicion of the same charge. A 14-year-old girl and a 37-year-old woman are being held on suspicion of assisting an offender. Ibrahima ran to a nearby house after being injured, according to the Manchester Evening News, and told the resident: "I don't want to die." "He just came through the door and said, 'I've been stabbed'," they told the newspaper. "We sat him down on a chair and phoned an ambulance. "He just kept saying, 'I don't want to die'." Detective Chief Inspector Tony Platten said: "Firstly, the force and I would like to pass on our condolences to Ibrahima's loved ones and we will continue to support them at this sad time. "This incident that has seen a young boy sadly die has understandably rocked the local community in New Moston. "We have made significant headway in the investigation which has seen us arrest another suspect on suspicion of murder, that takes the arrest total up to five and we are continuing with questioning those suspects today."
