Dean Hanmore, who has lived on the estate where the stabbing happened all of his life, said what had happened was \u201cterrible\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old said: \u201cPeople are frightened to come out of their houses.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething\u2019s got to be done. About six to 10 years ago it started getting worse around here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t know what to say anymore, it\u2019s absolutely terrible.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows each other around here. We never had nothing like this before.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhen the kids’ school holidays are broken up, something goes on. <\/p>\n

“There\u2019s always something going on – fighting or stabbing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Officers have appealed for anyone with any information to get in touch.<\/p>\n

“We know this happened in a busy area during the day and there would have been people around,” said Det Ch Insp Kelly Allen, who is leading the investigation.<\/p>\n

“The suspect is believed to have run away from the scene and I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Stellman Close area around 4pm to contact police.”<\/p>\n

Det Ch Supt James Conway added: “The death of a child is devastating and my first thoughts are with his family and friends.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
