Badri Issa: Man charged after Moss Side street stabbing

Badri Issa, 22, was "kind and friendly and always smiling" his family said

A man has been charged with the murder of a graduate who was stabbed to death in a Manchester street.

Badri Issa, 22, died in hospital after the attack in the Moss Side area on Wednesday.

Raami Mohamed, 21, of Fairy Lane, Manchester, has been charged.

Two men, aged 19 and 21, are in custody after being held on suspicion of murder. A third man, also 21, has been bailed after he was held on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

Mr Mohamed has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates Court later.

The force said the investigation "is still very much ongoing".

Mr Issa, described by his family as "kind and friendly", was looking forward to starting a career in mechanical engineering after recently graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University.

Det Ch Insp Andy Naismith renewed his appeal for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

"We understand that coming forward with information is nerve wracking but we urge you to do the right thing so we can provide answers for Badri's family", he said.
