Body Found In Carlisle Identified As 14-Year-Old Boy
A body found in a Carlisle cemetery on Thursday morning has been identified as 14-year-old Jordan Watson.
Police said the teenager died "as a result of a savage and brutal attack". A major incident room has been set up at Durranhill Police Station in Carlisle.
A post-mortem examination has established the cause of death as multiple wounds to the head and neck caused by a sharp implement.
Detective Superintendent Slattery said: "Jordan has lost his life as a result of a savage and brutal attack which has shocked the officers working on the case. For a child to die in these circumstances in Carlisle is appalling.
"The offender or offenders must be apprehended and I appeal to any members of the public with information to come forward. If anybody heard or saw anything unusual in the area of the cemetery on Manor Road overnight, I would urge them to report it to our incident room."
Patrols have been increased across the Carlisle area whilst the investigation continues.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 and ask to speak to an officer from North Cumbria CID.
