Police chief appeals to young people not to carry knives

A police chief has urged young people not to carry knives, following the death of a teenager at the weekend.

Kayden Moy, 16, from East Kilbride, died after a large disturbance on Irvine beach on Saturday evening. A 17-year-old boy has been charged with his murder.

There was also a stabbing at Portobello beach in Edinburgh, resulting in a 16-year-old being charged with attempted murder.

Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Tim Mairs said the incidents demonstrated the "tragic consequences" of carrying knives.
