Schoolboy Snapchat confession after Reece Tansey murder in Bolton


The 15 year old victim told a witness the killers name before he died at the scene. Officers were called to Walker Avenue at around 4.45am to reports of a k•ife attack last year in Bolton. 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. The teen’s death was caused by ‘multiple st•b wou•ds’, which ‘were likely to have been inflicted by a kni•e with a 10-12cm bla•e’, a pathologist concluded. Boy A sent a Snapchat video of himself carrying a kn•fe. Police have released a video showing how two teenage boys chased down 15-year-old Reece Tansey down a Bolton street before stabbing him.
