A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder and attempted murder after 13 people, including 11 children, were stabbed at a dance class in Southport – while violence has flared in Manchester following on from rioting elsewhere sparked by disinformation about the suspect.
In Manchester on Wednesday, demonstrators gathered outside the Holiday Inn hotel on Oldham Road at about 6pm, the Manchester Evening News reported. About 40 people including children and men wearing balaclavas were reportedly involved in what the paper said “appeared to be a stand against asylum seekers currently being housed in the hotel”.
