A TEENAGER from Bolton has been charged with murder after a 19-year-old was stabbed to death.
Mohammed Afzal died last Friday, August 1, after being stabbed in a horror attack in Manchester.
Officers raced to the scene on Market Street where Afzal, known to his loved ones as Isa, was found with multiple stab wounds.
Afzal was treated by medics but sadly passed away from his wounds later.
Cops have now charged Abbas Hussain, 19, with Afzal’s murder and possession of a bladed article.
Hussain, of Bolton, has been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates Court today.
Police say enquiries into the tragic stabbing are ongoing and Afzal’s family are being supported by specialist officers.
Two men are still in custody while two others who were arrested have been released on bail.
All of the men arrested in connection with the brutal stabbing were aged 19.
Detective Chief Inspector John Charlton, from GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “Our dedicated officers are working tirelessly on this case and have secured one charge of murder in relation to the tragic death of Mohammed.
“As our investigation continues, we encourage anyone with information to come forward – either by contacting us directly or by reaching out to Crimestoppers anonymously.”
