RTD Gang Trial Heats Up | Manchester News
Description
A 16-year-old boy, Alexander John Soyoye, was fatally stabbed in a brutal gang clash between rival crews M40 and RTD, sparking a high-stakes murder trial. The violence erupted after an earlier stabbing of an M40 relative, leading to a revenge attack where 13 RTD members allegedly overwhelmed 8 M40 members, leaving Alexander isolated and brutally assaulted. Six RTD members are already convicted, including one for manslaughter, while four others now face trial, denying all charges. New evidence includes a baseball bat allegedly linked to a defendant, CCTV footage of 13 suspects fleeing, and an officer’s identification of one suspect by footwear — all as the trial enters its second week.
