The father of a 14-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in north Manchester has left flowers on the street where he was attacked.
The teenager, who has been named by family and friends as Ibrahima Seck, died in hospital after he was stabbed outside the Fairway Inn pub in New Moston at about 17:00 BST on Monday.
His crying father left flowers where the attack happened, next to a picture of his son and tributes from the local community.
Two teenagers, aged 14 and 16, have been arrested on suspicion of murder, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
Police said a girl, 14, and woman, 37, had also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
The boy reportedly ran to a home nearby on Nevin Road after he was hurt and told the resident “I don’t want to die”.
One of the messages left at the scene read ‘things need to change, knives down gloves up’.
Another said: “Are thoughts and prayers are with the family at this horrific time. they are good people in this city, we pray for your son.”
Residents of the area told the BBC the stabbing was “very worrying”, and they were scared to let their young children out of the house.
Det Ch Insp John Charlton of GMP said police were supporting the boy’s family and were “determined to give them the answers they deserve”.
