Friends of a hero teenager who lost his life trying to save his mum from a knife attack have set up a fundraising page to support his family. Jakub Szymanski, 15, died in hospital following a horror double stabbing in Miles Platting on Thursday evening (June 9).
It is understood he stepped in to protect his mother Katarzyna Bastek when a man launched an attack. The mum, who is in her 40s, was hurt and is recovering in hospital, mourning the loss of her beloved son. A man was later arrested in Kent on suspicion of murder, police said.
The probe surrounding the incident at a property on Bednal Avenue continues. Detectives have been 'working around the clock'. Investigations at the scene continued on Saturday, with GMP saying officers will be in the area all weekend.
