His family has said they are “completely shattered”

Police have named the teenage boy who died following a stabbing in Peterborough at the weekend. Baye Bireme Fall, 16, died just before 9.30pm on Sunday (April 12) after being attacked near the Orton Centre at around 7pm the same evening.

His family described him as an “amazing boy” whose “kindness and generosity will never be forgotten”. Today, his family released this statement: “We are completely shattered and may never recover from the passing away of our son whose life was tragically cut short.

“Baye was an amazing boy and son whose heart is pure and kind towards other people. He was ever so ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who was in need. His kindness and generosity will never be forgotten.”

A post-mortem examination is set to take place today (Wednesday, April 15) at Peterborough City Hospital. A boy and a man have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain in custody after detectives were granted a 36-hour extension to their custody time limit from magistrates yesterday morning (Tuesday, April 14).

Detectives are continuing to appeal for information. Anyone with information about the incident should report it to Cambridgeshire Police via the online reporting portal or by calling 101, quoting Op Whitby.
