It has been a year since 16-year-old Kennie Carter was stabbed to death. He had his whole life ahead of him, and was walking home when the fatal attack took place, sending shockwaves through the local community.
12 months on, despite numerous arrests, extensive investigations, over 100 people spoken to and repeated appeals for information, the search for answers continues. Police have now re-issued a plea in the hope new information will assist with the inquiry.
Tragedy struck on January 22, 2022. Emergency services were called just before 7pm to a report of a 16-year-old boy with serious injuries on Thirlmere Avenue in Stretford. Kennie had been found by passers-by who called 999. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Kennie didn't make it.
