A grieving mother has described the shocking moment she found her 16-year-old son dying in the street following a stabbing. Mother-of four Joan Dixon, 47, said: "I felt like my whole world had just been taken right there and then."
The shop assistant described the youth who fatally stabbed her youngest, Kennie, as 'evil' as she made a heartfelt plea for parents everywhere to make sure their children aren't carrying knives. As he walked home, Kennie was followed and then pounced on by a group wearing hoods and Covid masks on Stretford's Lakes estate at 7pm on Saturday, January 22.
He was stabbed in the chest and died later in hospital. Police believe the fatal stabbing was the culmination of a series of tit-for-tat incidents between two rival groups. So far police have arrested 14 youths on suspicion of murder, aged between 12 and 17. Ten of the young suspects remain on police bail.
