Callum Riley, 17, was lured to the family home of a drug dealer with whom he had become embroiled in a feud, prosecutors said.

Hours earlier, Tony Adams had smashed the windows of Callum's home in Heywood, where he lived with his mother and siblings. Fuelled by anger, Callum and a friend both went to Adams' home armed with glass bottles and began launching them at his property, in the early hours of September 17, 2022.

In an ensuing fracas, Callum and his friend were both stabbed. Callum was able to stagger away but collapsed and died shortly after. His pal survived.

Prosecutors charged three men with murder.

Dale Heywood, 26, Adams' friend who had been called to his home to act as Tony back-up, was 'probably' the man who stabbed Callum, prosecutors argued at Manchester Crown Court.
