Tributes to 'funny, caring' boy, 14, stabbed to death

Ibrahima's parents paid tribute to their son yesterday as a "funny, caring and hardworking" boy, who was "so smiley and always made everybody laugh".

He was found with stab wounds as officers responded to reports of a serious assault on Nevin Road in New Moston at around 5pm. He ran to a house nearby after being injured, telling the resident, “I don’t want to die”, the Manchester Evening News reported.

Ibrahima was taken from the scene in an air ambulance but died in hospital.

Following initial investigations, detectives established the identities of possible suspects and – after they attended a nearby property – a 37-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
