Craig 6682 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 A murder investigation is under way in Newcastle after a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death. Police were alerted by the ambulance service who found the teenager with a stab wound to his neck in the West End of the city at 2320 BST on Wednesday. He was found on the corner of Elswick Road and Caroline Street. The teenager was taken to Newcastle General Hospital but later died. Police believe there were a number of people in the area at the time of the attack. A Home Office pathologist will conduct a post-mortem examination later on Thursday. The victim's identity will not be released until his relatives have been informed. A tent has been erected at the scene and a detailed forensic examination is being carried out. Northumbria police have cordoned off part of Elswick Road between Brancepeth Avenue and Cochrane Street, which will remain in place for most of Thursday. They are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/6618113.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg 6 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Teenager arrested over stab death Police are carrying out a detailed forensic examination of the scene A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing a 16-year-old to death on a Tyneside street. Mark Smith, of St Johns Walk, Newcastle was found with a knife wound to the neck in the West End of the city on Wednesday. He later died in hospital. On Thursday, police said a 16-year-old boy had been arrested on suspicion of Mr Smith's murder and was in custody. They also confirmed they were investigating reports of an altercation around Gill Street before the death. It is believed that after Mr Smith was injured he made his way via Axbridge Gardens to Elswick Road, where he collapsed. He was later found on the corner of Elswick Road and Caroline Street. Det Ch Insp Roger Ford, who is leading the investigation, said: "We believe that at the time this happened, there were a number of people in the area and I have no doubt that members of the public who were walking, driving or living in the area would have seen or heard something. "Knife crime is completely unacceptable and it's vital that people come forward with information. "Our thoughts and sympathy go out to Mark's family at this time. "Trained family liaison officers are with his parents who are working with us to help us progress this investigation." A post-mortem examination is currently being carried out. Elswick Road has now been re-opened on the northbound carriageway. Traffic lights are in place on the southbound carriageway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo 24 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 My colleague got a phone call in the office yesterday. It was her daughter telling her that it was her best pal’s brother who got stabbed. Shocking, but doesn’t surprise me around here unfortunately. Little cowardly wankers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
