Three 19-year-olds arrested after teen is killed in ‘targeted attack’ in Bury town centre
Emily Sergeant
Three men have been arrested after a teenager was stabbed to death in a ‘targeted attack’ in Bury town centre.
The arrests come after a 19-year-old male was attacked just before 9pm on Friday (1 August) in a car park on Market Street in Bury town centre – sustaining several stab wounds in the process and sadly later dying from his injuries.
All three of the suspects are male and aged 19, the same as the victim, and it is being treated as an isolated attack with ‘no wider threat’ to the public.
The three have each been arrested on suspicion of murder, with two of the arrests taking place in Bury and Bolton over the weekend, and the other in the early hours of the morning at Manchester Airport – with all remaining in police custody for questioning.
Following the incident, Greater Manchester Police‘s (GMP) Major Incident Team has launched a murder investigation.

Viral Manchester beauty brand P. Louise to open first ever flagship store in Trafford Palazzo
Thomas Melia
Beauty brand and viral cosmetics giant P. Louise has announced her first ever flagship store, and it’s opening at Trafford Palazzo.
Droylsden-born beauty guru, turned makeup mogul, P. Louise, is opening her first ever flagship store in Manchester in one of the region’s biggest shopping centres.
Titled P. Louise City, the pastel pink viral cosmetics company is launching its very-first physical site in Trafford Palazzo.
The beauty brand has become a social media sensation, as well as a Greater Manchester hotspot thanks to its P. Louise Empire headquarters located in Stockport.
This pink-furnished warehouse site offers customers an immersive experience with makeover sessions, shopping DIY activities, a cafe, and lots of photo opportunities.
The upcoming P. Louise City is set to build off this success with a 19,000 sq ft store that houses a variety of distinctive zones with iconic names.
You’ll be able to quench your thirst at the ‘Bad B*tch Juice Bar’, find all the latest pink-hued goodies at ‘Juicy News’, and pick up all your essentials at the ‘P. Louise Supermarket’.
P. Louise may not be a medical company, but her ‘P. Louise Pharmacy’ will cure all your retail therapy needs, and although many of her fans already knew her products were liquid gold, the ‘P. Louise Vault’ definitely confirms this.
As well as lots of shopping areas throughout this massive Trafford Palazzo site, there will be lots of hands-on activities – including makeup education zones, and even a dancefloor to bust a move or two.


In an Instagram post on her personal social media account she calls this physical store ‘a dream come true’, adding: “[It’s] truly a pinch me moment – here’s to my next chapter”.
Anyone wanting to add a splash of pastel pink to their life ahead of the big new opening can check out P. Louise’s upcoming Pinkmas event, which is returning to the Trafford Centre and features similar zones with a Christmas twist.
