Man extradited and charged with teen's murder

A man has been extradited back to the UK and charged with murder in the investigation into the death of a 16-year-old in Manchester.

Alexander John Soyoye, known as John, died after being stabbed in the Moston area of Manchester in November 2020.

Nico de Carvalho Wilson, 24, has also been charged with manslaughter and violent disorder.

Wilson, who was detained in Portugal in March and was extradited on Tuesday, appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court earlier, Greater Manchester Police said.

He is due to appear at Manchester Crown Court on Friday.

Paying tribute to John shortly after his death, his family said: "He was a remarkable man that was full of energy, intelligence and love.

"His energy was felt by everyone that met him.

"He was smart, caring and friendly and he will be missed but remembered."
