Greater Manchester Police is offering a £50,000 reward to anyone with key information that will lead to a conviction for the murder of sixteen-year-old Kennie Carter.

Kennie died in hospital on Saturday 22 January 2022, after suffering a fatal stab wound to the chest on Thirlmere Avenue in Stretford.

Twelve teenagers – aged between 13 and 18 – have been arrested on suspicion of murder. All have been released under investigation whilst enquiries continue.

Detective Chief Inspector Alicia Smith, from GMP’s Major Investigation Team, said: “The thoughts of everyone in the investigation team remain with Kennie’s loved ones at this time.

“They have lived though one year without Kennie and are desperate for answers and I hope you will think of them today.

“This is a long and meticulous investigation, through which we have spoken to over 100 people, reviewed over 100 hours of CCTV and carried out dozens of warrants.

“We have also arrested all of the people that we wanted to speak to in connection with this incident.

“I believe we are close to getting justice for Kennie and I am confident that there is someone out there who holds key information about this case who has not yet made themselves known to us.

“Please don’t assume that we already know the information you hold. What you know could be the last piece that we need.

“I understand you might be scared but I would like to stress that murder investigations are never closed. We will never stop seeking the truth and we will not stop until Kennie’s killers are safely behind bars.

“Please do the right thing – clear your conscience, come forwards and tell us what you know.

“I would like to thank those members of the public who have already come forwards and shared information.

“Anyone can contact us with information - no matter how insignificant it may seem - on 0161 856 9908 or 101 quoting incident 2529 of 22/01/2022.

“Any footage or images from the night should be submitted to our online portal here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/06GMP22S43-PO1

Sergeant Marc Foster of GMP Stretford said: “The local community remain devastated by the death of Kennie Carter.

“We are continuing to support the family and are working closely with the community, providing high visibility patrols in the area.

“Our community has come together united against knife crime, and we will continue to support them and the investigation team to secure justice for Kennie.

“I would like to thank members of the public who have already provided us with key information.

“However, I would now like to address those who have not yet come forwards.

“There are people out there who know what happened that evening. Please check your conscience and do the right thing.

“It was a cowardly attack on a young teenager with his whole life in front of him.

“The investigation is live and we are responding to any new information given.

“Please don’t assume we already know the information you hold. Tell us again anyway, because it might be the key to securing a charge and conviction for those responsible.”

Reminder of our key appeal points are below – please provide GMP with a statement if:

  • If you witnessed Kennie Carter’s murder
  • If you have heard key information first hand
  • If you have footage or images from that night

If you have information to share, please call 0161 856 9908 or 101 quoting incident 2529 of 22/01/2022.

Any footage or images from the night should be submitted to our online portal here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/06GMP22S43-PO1
