This story would be more fitting in some poverty stricken part of South Africa.
A 17 Year old white lad has been arrested, reports are the Indian student was shot dead for not answering a question "What's the time?', although racial motive has not been ruled out.
The Indian student mistakingly ventured into a dangerous part of Manchester and paid for it with his life. Shocking case and headline news over in India.

When things like this occur I tend to think it's more like a gang initiation rather than anything else. Obviously if it does turn out to be a racially motivated killing then there could be further trouble as a result, but either way, for a person to be murdered in cold blood like that on Boxing Day is tragic, regardless of any other factors.
(Very OT so apologies in advance, but 17? He looked at least double that.)
i personally don't think it was gang initiation, it'd make more sense killing a gang member than some random indian student/tourist.
i cant really make sense of it, why kill someone who isnt a threat or part of any gangs. the authorities need to crack down on crime in these "no go estates", come down extra hard.
A gang initiation wouldn't necessarily explicitly mean killing another gang member. It would be about killing another person.
time will tell i guess
He was 23. Just want to add this is a very, very sad story.
I wonder how close they were to their hotel? This is why it is important for hotels to warn tourists of areas to stay away from, how could he know?
The person arrested is 17, not the victim who was 23.
This is so sad, it was this guys dream to visit the UK and he paid with his life. RIP.
My mistake sorry. Still looked way older though.
What a dispiriting waste.
yeah, education is needed more to fight racism big time
The justice system in this country is an utter, utter JOKE and it is really starting to tell. This country is getting a worldwide reputation for crime.
I agree. If guilty then just get rid of him permanently. I'd flick the switch or pull the lever myself. The world is s*** enough as it without such sub-human creatures adding to it.
Indeed. I just hope that this doesn't get bogged down in idle speculation about possible racial motives.
Certain corners of society would seize on this as a means to further their respective causes i imagine.
Prediction: your prediction is wrong.
Something like this news report taken at random is far more likely.
In fact for gun assassination of a stranger he will probably serve considerably longer in prison than the above example cites.
Maybe we should turn him over to India.
You may think it's what should happen-but it's not happening, now or in the future.
Ignorant.
tourism is very important to our country, we cant have scum executing our tourists, also for such a small country we really shouldn't have "dangerous" areas and no go zones.
we need to get tough on real crime, long sentences for culprits regardless if they are 17.
We need to go down the Scandanivian form of dealing with criminals. It's of no coincidence they have the lowest re-offending rates in the world.
