Manchester: Boys who murdered army cadet, 14, jailed for life

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the 15-year-old boy admitted he fatally stabbed Nathaniel in the neck, but claimed in court he was acting in self-defence.

The force added the 14-year-old boy had “encouraged” the other boy to fatally injure Nathaniel.

The teenager was found seriously injured at about 18:00 BST, and “despite the best efforts” of the public, police and paramedics he died in hospital.

A police investigation of hundreds of hours of CCTV and phone data revealed incriminating social media conversations and a full timeline of the events leading up to the murder, GMP said.

Det Chief Insp Gina Brennand said the boy’s family “will never get over this tragic loss of life.”

She added: “On the night of the murder, Nathaniel was ironing his cadet uniform and polishing his boots, something which he was immensely proud of, before he left the house and never returned.”
