Teen killers have been named for the first time after a 17-year-old boy was murdered in the street. Tafari Smith, then 16, stabbed Kyle Hackland before other teenagers joined in with the brutal attack.
Kyle’s murder was fuelled by revenge, after his killers sought retribution for an incident the day before. One of them blamed a pal of Kyle's after he was 'set up' during a drug deal gone wrong, Manchester Crown Court heard.
But Kyle had nothing to do with the incident, and was walking alongside his friend on Southlea Road in Withington, at around 11.30am on November 22 last year, when the attackers saw him and pounced.
Smith, now 17, can be named for the first time after the M.E.N. successfully applied to a judge for the anonymity afforded to juvenile offenders to be lifted.
