In a full statement
On behalf of the investigation team, who are in Salford completing extensive enquiries, I appeal to anyone with information to contact us or Crimestoppers, anonymously. Also, I ask those surrounding Clowes Park to check any CCTV or doorbell footage they have.
“On behalf of Greater Manchester Police, I would like to say, publicly, that our thoughts are with the loved ones of the victim of this stabbing.
“This incident closely follows the fatal stabbing of Kennie Carter in the Stretford area of Trafford last weekend and we, as a force, are aware and understand that our communities are concerned. I would therefore like to reiterate the Chief Constable’s promise to Greater Manchester that GMP is a force which focusses on fighting, preventing and reducing crime to keep people safe.
“Fighting knife crime is a top priority and I would briefly like to highlight some of the work our officers and staff are doing.
