A twelfth teenager's been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a 16-year-old boy in Trafford last month.

Kennie Carter died in hospital on Saturday 22 January after suffering a fatal wound to the chest following a stabbing in Stretford.

Yesterday morning (Friday 11 February) a 13-year-old boy was arrested in the Hulme area on suspicion of murder. He has been bailed pending further enquiries.

Eight teenagers - aged between 13 and 17 - have already been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain on bail with conditions.

Three other teenage boys who were arrested have since been eliminated from the inquiry.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for information and are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been driving along Moss Road, Thirlmere Road and Victoria Road between 6 and 7pm on 22 January.

They're urging anyone who may have been in that location to check their dash-cam footage and get in touch.
