Tributes have been paid to a 16-year-old boy who died after a stabbing on Irvine Beach at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Kayden Moy, from East Kilbride, was in a disturbance involving a large group of teenagers<\/a> at 18:45 on Saturday. He died in hospital on Sunday. <\/p>\n

The teenager previously played for football club Busby AFC, which said his death had “hit everyone hard”.<\/p>\n

Police Scotland said a 17-year-old boy has been arrested over the incident. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The force said a large number of people were on the Ayrshire beach on Saturday – one of the warmest days of the year in Scotland – and may have filmed footage of the incident.<\/p>\n

Busby AFC said it had launched a fundraising appeal for Kayden’s family.<\/p>\n

It said in a statement: “The Club was devastated to find out that Kayden Moy sadly lost his life recently after being the victim of a knife attack. <\/p>\n

“Kayden played in our youth set-up for several years and it has hit everyone hard.<\/p>\n

“We are aware that nothing will ever replace the life of an individual but we hope that this fundraising will help Kayden’s family at this extremely difficult time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On Sunday, Kayden’s father Paul had called his son “my best friend” in a post on social media.<\/p>\n

He wrote: “My first born son, my big boy, my best friend, my main man, my everything, rest easy my boy.”<\/p>\n

Social media posts suggested dozens of teenagers had been among those who witnessed the incident on Irvine beach.<\/p>\n

Members of the public with any information about the death are being urged to contact Police Scotland<\/a> with details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
