The group of youths who were with a 14-year-old boy when he was stabbed to death helped to catch his killer, police have revealed.
Tomasz Oleszak was stabbed in the chest with a kitchen knife by 15-year-old Leighton Amies. The attack occurred in a park near Tomasz's home on the Springwell Estate in Gateshead.
Amies also swung the blade at another boy, damaging his coat and narrowly avoiding causing him significant injury.
