19-year-old Shawn Seesahai was stabbed on Monday evening.
Police investigating the murder of a 19-year-old in Wolverhampton have charged two boys with his murder.
Shawn Seesahai was attacked on land off Laburnum Road, East Park, and died on Monday evening.
Two 12-year-olds were arrested on Tuesday evening and, following a warrant of further detention from the court, they were charged by detectives this evening.
The boys have also been charged with possession of a bladed article.
Both boys, who cannot be named due to their age, have been remanded in custody to appear at Birmingham Magistrates Court tomorrow (17 Nov).
In a tribute released earlier on Thursday, Shawn’s mother said: “Shawn Seesahai was a courageous, compassionate and confident young soul who sadly lost his life at the age of 19.
“He was looking forward to accomplish many future plans and ambitions. He cared dearly about his family and friends and he absolutely loved to help people. He was a generous person and had a good personality.
“We will always have him in our hearts.”
Police patrols are continuing in East Park to offer reassurance to the public.
