Councillors have spoken of their outrage after a 19-year-old man was stabbed to death in Fallowfield in the early hours of Wednesday morning (October 26). Police were flagged down on busy Wilmslow Road after the incident, with the victim being given CPR at the scene.
Following the fatal attack, which the M.E.N. understands occurred as the man was walking home from a party, local leaders spoke of their horror at the stabbing, as they repeated their calls for the 'awful and unnecessary death' of young people to be stopped in the city.
Greater Manchester Police say they have now launched a murder investigation after the young man was 'robbed' of his life, with more officers expected to be patrolling the area and reassuring the student community over the coming days.
