A third person has been charged in connection with a fatal stabbing in Ancoats last week.
Jermaine Leahong, (20/07/1999) of Lagos Close, Manchester, has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of 24-year-old Neri Morse on Wednesday 20 April 2022. He has also been charged with Section 18 assault and possession of a bladed article. Neri sadly died following an incident on Pollard Street at around 6.30pm. During this incident, a second man - also in his 20s - was injured.

Leahong has been remanded in custody and will next appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning (28 April 2022). |
