A man has been charged with murder after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Manchester last week.

Jakub Szymanksi died in hospital after he was found with stab wounds at an address in Miles Platting on Thursday night.

His mother, Katarzyna Bastek, in her 40s, was also stabbed in the incident and is recovering in hospital.

Suleman Altaf, 44, of no fixed address, has been charged with the murder of 15-year-old Jakub Szymanski in Miles Platting, Greater Manchester Police said.

“He has been remanded in custody ahead of a hearing at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court today,” the force added.

Following the attack, Alltaf, who is understood to be known to the victims, went on the run, with police warning the public not to approach him.

Officers were called to reports of a domestic incident at a home in Miles Platting at about 9.30pm on Thursday, where the young boy was found with stab wounds.
