Ibrahima Seck, 14, was stabbed as he was on his way to play football in June
A 14-year-old who boasted in a rap video "we just done a murder" has been convicted of killing Ibrahima Seck, along with two other teenagers who encouraged and assisted him.
Ibrahima Seck, 14, was attacked on his way to play football with friends in New Moston on 8 June. He later died in hospital having suffered a single stab wound to the heart.
Two women have also been found guilty of assisting an offender after taking the teenagers away from the scene and providing them with a change of clothes.
The trial heard that there had been "bad feeling" between two sets of friends in the days and weeks leading up to the incident.

Ibrahima had been on his way to play football with his brothers and friends on 8 June 2025, when he came across the other group. A brief altercation occurred between one of Ibrahima's friends and a boy in the other group.
As Ibrahima ran away, the trio chased him and caught up with him in the car park of the Fairway Inn Public House.
Ibrahima slipped on the floor and was fatally stabbed by one of the 14-year-olds, the trial heard.
As Ibrahima sought help from a nearby house, the three boys fled and were driven away from the area.
One of the boys made a video, later recovered by the police, where he boasted "we just done a murder".
Officers stopped Kerri Dobson's vehicle at 18:00 that evening. The 37-year-old from Manchester was deleting things from her phone as the officer approached, "clearly trying to cover up the help that she had provided to the teenagers", the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
A 39-year-old woman, Naomi Heavens from Manchester, was also convicted on assisting an offender.
The then 16-year-old boy and one of the 14-year-olds handed themselves in at Central Park Police Station on 8 June 2025, and the second 14-year-old was arrested at his home address the following day.
