Second teenager is charged with Rhamero murder
A MAN has been charged with the murder of 16-year-old Rhamero West.
Ryan Cashin, 19, of Nancy Street, Manchester, has been charged with one count of murder.
He appeared at Salford and Manchester Magistrates Court yesterday and has been remanded in custody until his next court appearance on Monday, October 18.
Police were called to Norton Street in Trafford just before 6pm on September 9, to reports of a stabbing.
Emergency services attended and found Rhamero West, of south Manchester, with a number of stab wounds.
He was rushed to hospital but died a short while later.
During the investigation, police also arrested and charged a 16-yearold boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The 16-year-old has also been charged with the murder of Rhamero.
He has been remanded in custody to appear in court at a later date.
A trial date was set for March next year.
As part of their ‘complex’ enquiries, detectives have been investigating a number of incidents that occurred prior to Rhamero’s death, the force said.
These include multiple crashes and violent disorder around the Princess Road area of south Manchester. Prior to the news of the charge, Detective Chief Inspector Liz Hopkinson, from GMP’s Major Incident Team, said: “As always, our thoughts remain firmly with Rhamero’s family at this incredibly difficult time and they are being supported by our specialist officers as we continue to conduct our investigation.”
