Officers investigating the death of 15-year-old Mohanad Abdullaahi Goobe in Manchester last month have charged a further two teenagers with murder.

Police were called to disturbance in the area of Moss Lane East and Monton Street at around 4.30pm on Monday 15 September 2025.

Emergency services attended but despite their best efforts, Mohanad died later that evening.

A 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy, who both cannot be named for legal reasons, have now been charged with murder.

They will appear at Manchester City and Salford Youth Court today (30 October 2025).

Detective Inspector Alex Wilkinson, from GMP's Major Incident Team, said: “The investigation is still moving at pace as we continue to seek justice following this horrific incident.

“Our enquiries are still ongoing and we ask that anyone with any information to please get in touch.

“You can contact us on our Major Incident Portal 24/7 or anonymously - even the smallest amount of information could greatly assist our work."

Another 15-year-old boy was previously charged with murder and has been remanded in custody.

Following his death, Mohanad's family paid tribute to him:

“Mohanad was our 15-year-old son, and a younger sibling to his sister and brother. Mohanad was the baby of the family, he was quick to laugh, easy to love, with a ready smile. Our son had an uncanny ability to make you laugh, making it sometimes difficult to be serious with him.

“Mohanad had many friends, he was loyal and often played the class clown, simply to see them laugh.

“Mohanad’s life has been cut tragically short, it is difficult to comprehend that seeing your son head off for school in the morning, would be the last time that we would see that handsome face.

“Mohanad deserves to be remembered for the young man who was loved by his family, and loved big in return, not as the boy whose life was taken with no thought or reason.

“We will not allow his name to be known as yet another statistic in the rise of knife crime.

“Remember Mohanad with love in your heart and a kind word on your lips.”
