Tributes have been paid to a 16-year-old boy who died after being stabbed at a beach in Ayrshire.

Kayden Moy was found seriously injured following a report of a disturbance at Irvine Beach at around 6.45pm on Saturday.

The teenager, from East Kilbride in South Lanarkshire, received medical care at the scene before being taken to hospital, where he died on Sunday.

Police Scotland launched an investigation and arrested a 17-year-old boy.

Kayden’s father, Paul Moy, paid tribute to his son in a post on Facebook.

He said: “My first-born son, my big boy, my best friend, my main man, my everything. Rest easy, my boy.”

A GoFundMe fundraiser for Kayden’s family has been launched by Busby AFC, where Kayden played in the youth set-up for “several” years.

The grassroots football community club said it was “devastated” over the teenager’s death.

In a statement, a spokesperson added: “It has hit everyone hard.

“Kayden’s grandfather is a long-term volunteer, player, coach and friend of the club. He currently spends his weeknights and weekends coaching Kayden’s younger brother who currently plays in our junior section too.

“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.”

More than £6,000 has been raised so far.

Scottish Labour MSP Monica Lennon also passed on her “sincere condolences” to Kayden’s family and friends.

In a post on X, she added: “It’s devastating that 16-year-old Kayden Moy went to the beach and never came home, robbed of his life and future.

“This heartbreaking and violent tragedy will stun East Kilbride and Scotland. Enough is enough.”

A website has been set up to allow members of the public to submit information directly to officers investigating the incident.

Detective Chief Inspector Campbell Jackson previously said: “From our investigation so far, we know there were a number of people on the beach around the time of the disturbance.

“We believe several of them were filming at the time and may have footage of what happened.

“I would urge people to review the footage they have and contact police if they think the footage captured could be of significance to our investigation.”
