West Midlands police seeking up to seven suspects after teenager’s death on Monday
Police in Birmingham hunting for a group of men who chased then stabbed a 14-year-old black child to death have made six arrests and referred themselves to the police watchdog amid claims the killing was racially motivated.
West Midlands police had earlier said there was nothing to support a racial motive in Monday’s stabbing, despite concern in the community that this was the case. However, on Tuesday evening the force changed that stance, saying they were keeping an open mind as to the motive.
