A local community in north Manchester has been left 'heartbroken' and in shock after a 14-year-old boy died and his mum was seriously injured in a 'ferocious' double stabbing.

Residents on Bednal Avenue in Miles Platting woke up this morning to find their street at the centre of a murder investigation. Officers flocked to the scene after the youngster and his mum were attacked in a house at around 9.30pm last night (Thursday).

The boy was rushed to hospital but tragically died. His mum - who is aged in her 40s - was also rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
