Police detectives have launched an urgent manhunt after a 13-year-old boy was stabbed to death in an ‘absolutely tragic’ attack at a house in Birmingham.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Paramedics called the police to a home in the Oldbury area at 4pm yesterday after the boy was fatally knifed.
He received treatment from the paramedics at the scene but police say ‘despite their best efforts the boy sadly passed away’.
The Detective Superintendent of West Midlands Police has vowed to track down ‘whoever is responsible’ for the horror attack which he branded ‘absolutely tragic’.
Pictures from the scene of the crime on Lovett Avenue last night showed police cars and officers standing guard around the scene as the investigation got underway.
Officers cordoned off the road and the house where residents saw camera flashes coming from inside the property as forensic officers examined the evidence.
West Midlands Police say they have a team of detectives investigating exactly what happened during this ‘tragic incident’ and they are ‘following active lines of enquiry’ to identify who was involved.
