A TEENAGER has tragically died after being “stabbed to death”;; at a Scots beach.
Mercy crews raced to Irvine Beach, in North Ayrshire, on Saturday after the alarm was raised around 6:45pm.
The 16-year-old, from East Kilbride, was rushed to hospital but could not be saved.
He died yesterday and his family are aware.
Cops are appealing to anyone who may have mobile phone footage to get in touch.
Detectives have also set up a website that gives members of the public access to a form to send information directly to the Major Investigation Team, which can be submitted anonymously.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Detective Chief Inspector Campbell Jackson, Major Investigations Team, said: “An extensive investigation is underway to establish the full circumstances surrounding this death. Our officers are supporting the boy’s family at this very difficult and heartbreaking time.
“From our investigation so far, we know there were a number of people on the beach around the time of the disturbance. We believe several of them were filming at the time and may have footage of what happened.
“I would urge people to review the footage they have and contact police if they think the footage captured could be of significance to our investigation.”;;
Elsewhere, in a separate incident, a teenager was charged with attempted murder after a lad was allegedly knifed at Edinburgh’s Portobello Beach.
Armedcopswere called at around 7.40pm on Friday following reports of a “large-scale disturbance”;;.
