A teenage attacker who was found guilty of murdering schoolboy Reece Tansey has been handed a 15-year sentence.

Another boy was also jailed for six years, after being found guilty of manslaughter for his part in the brutal stabbing of the 15-year-old in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

After being attacked, Reece used his final breath to tell two men who discovered his body the names of his killers.

Reece banged on a nearby house's door as he desperately pleaded for help in his final moments before falling to the ground. 

Officers were called to Walker Avenue at around 4.45am to reports of a knife attack. 

Police arrived at the scene minutes after Reece was found, and the young boy was rushed to Salford Royal Hospital. He was pronounced dead at 5.45am.

Boy B replied with a laughing emoji.

Both teenagers today appeared at a sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Court, where judge Justice Farbey was told there was a 'long-standing hate' between Boy B and Reece, and Boy A had been brought into the dispute as support.
