A murder investigation is launched as a domestic-related stabbing leaves a teenager dead and his mother hospitalised.

A murder investigation has been initiated after a 15-year-old boy was killed and his mother hospitalised following a violent knife attack in Manchester. The shocking incident occurred on Thursday evening in Bednal Avenue, Miles Platting, around 9:30 PM. Emergency responders rushed the victims to the hospital, where the boy tragically passed away an hour later. His mother, a woman in her 40s, remains in stable condition as of Friday.

Detective Chief Inspector Gina Brennand described the attack as “devastating,” adding that it was a deeply troubling event for the local community. She confirmed that the suspect is known to the victims and that this was a domestic-related matter. “A teenage boy has tragically lost his life, and his mother is now recovering in hospital after also suffering serious injuries,” she said.

“The attack was ferocious, and we are working at an intense pace to capture the individual responsible and ensure they are held accountable for this terrible crime.”

The suspect is an Asian man in his mid-40s, described as having a medium build and height. He was last seen walking on Sawley Road after the attack. Authorities are urging the public not to approach him but to contact the police if they have any information.

A cordon remains in place in the Miles Platting area as investigations continue. No arrests have yet been made.
