Teen stabbed to death at club

A 16-year-old boy has died of his injuries after being stabbed outside a crowded youth club in Liverpool, police have confirmed this morning. The teenager and two friends are thought to have been attacked by a group of youths outside the club in the Everton area of the city, last night. The victim, from Old Swan, was taken to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A second boy, aged 17, from Old Swan, was also stabbed but his condition is not believed to be life threatening. There were 50 to 70 teenagers in the venue at the time. Police believe at least some of the young people may know who the attackers are and have appealed for them to reveal what they know. Chief Supt Steve Watson said: "We need that information so we can act immediately and bring those responsible to justice."
