A 13-year-old boy whose fatal stabbing has sparked a murder investigation died inside his own home, police have said.
The boy, who has not been named, died inside a house on Lovett Avenue in Oldbury on Thursday afternoon.
In a statement outside West Bromwich Police Station on Friday (30 August), Chief Superintendent Kim Madill issued a plea for information.
The boy has not been named and no arrests have been made, but the Sandwell police commander said “active lines of inquiry” are being followed to find the suspect.
She said: “I’m here to let the family, and the wider community, know that we will work with you and support you as we seek to find who is responsible for the death of this young boy.”
Anyone with information has been asked to get in touch via Live Chat or 101, quoting log 3204 of 29/8/24.
