A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murdering Kyle Hackland who was fatally stabbed in south Manchester.

Kyle, 17, was attacked at around 11:30am on Southlea Road, Withington on Tuesday 22 November 2022. He died in hospital a short time later.

Today (Wednesday 30 November 2022) a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article.

He has been remanded into custody to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court tomorrow (Thursday 1 December 2022).

In a tribute released following his death, Kyle’s family said:

"We are devasted by the death of our beloved Kyle. He was such a kind and well-mannered young boy who always looked out for his family – never failing to say “love you” as he walked out the door.

"There are no words that can even begin to describe the pain we feel. We have always been such a close family, and this has shattered us all.

"He will forever be missed as a beautiful son as well as a caring and helpful big brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. Life will never be the same without him, we are completely broken."
