An inquest into the death of teenager Ibrahima Seck, who was stabbed while on his way to play football, has been opened and adjourned.
The 14-year-old had been walking with his brothers and friends to a park in New Moston, Manchester, when he was attacked on 8 June.
His parents described him as “funny, caring, and hardworking”, while his headteacher said he had a 100% school attendance rate and had been doing the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
Two 14-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named due to their ages, have been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article. The inquest was opened on Thursday and adjourned until criminal proceedings have concluded.
