Fear has gripped a Manchester community after a 19-year-old was stabbed to death on one of the city's busiest roads. The Manchester Evening News understands the university student had been walking home from a party before being attacked by someone he did not know on Wilmslow Road, in Fallowfield.
The suburb is well-known for its heavy student population. Many woke up to the sight of officers patrolling their neighbourhood, their streets taped off, and investigators gathering clues about another life lost on the city's streets.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed the death this evening (October 26), but word had already travelled fast following the attack at around 2am. “Just imagine…we could’ve gone on a night out last night,” two young women told each other as they walked to a bus stop.
