'I doubt anyone there will forget what they saw... so many lives were ruined'

Army cadet Nathaniel Shani was just 14-years-old when he died after being brutally stabbed to the neck in an alleyway in Harpurhey .

An arrangement was made to meet to ‘sort things’, the court was told. Nathaniel arrived in the square at about 6pm and met with Boy A and Boy B. During the confrontation Nathaniel punched Boy A, who then produced a knife and stabbed him to the neck. The turmoil suffered by his family was laid bare in court, as his grieving dad, Frank Shani, said: "Love, happiness, joy and celebrations seems to be a thing of the past. Our future is full of sadness.

'So many lives were ruined' After sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Gina Brennand, of GMP’s Major Incident Team, issued a stark message about young people carrying knives. “I’d also like to extend this gratitude to the Major Incident Team detectives who have dedicated hundreds of hours to this case to ensure that Nathaniel’s family and friends received the answers they need to come to terms with their loss. We know this won’t bring him back – but hopefully it can provide at least some comfort knowing that those guilty have been sentenced to a total of 23 years.
