April 22, 2021 Ava

A murder investigation has been launched after a teenager was stabbed to death in Salford.

Police were called shortly after 8.15pm on Wednesday to a report of a knife attack and found a 17-year-old boy had been stabbed in the chest.

The teenager was rushed to hospital for treatment but died from his injuries.

A short time later, police were called to a second address nearby after receiving reports that another 17-year-old boy had suffered stab wounds to his arm.

However, he’d already left the scene and gone to hospital for treatment.

Officers located the teenager and he was later arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody while enquiries are ongoing.

Det Ch Insp Stuart Wilkinson, of Greater Manchester Police’s Major Incident Team, said: ‘After such a dreadful incident like this our thoughts are with the family of the young man who lost his life on our streets last night.

‘These are the very early stages of our investigation but we are working hard to identify the circumstances around what took place.

‘There will be understandable shock in the community after news of this incident, but we have a large police presence at the scene and I can assure the public we will be doing everything within our power to seek justice for this boy’s family.’
