15-year-old due in court after teen stabbed to death in Birmingham

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder after another teenager was stabbed to death in Birmingham.

Muhammad Hassam Ali, 17, was found seriously injured in Victoria Square just before 3:30pm on Saturday. He was taken to hospital, but later died.

The 15-year-old is due in court today charged with his murder.

Another 15-year-old has been released on police bail with strict conditions.

Detective Inspector Michelle Thurgood said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Muhammad.

“We have now charged a boy over Muhammad’s death but our enquiries continue. We are still keen to speak to anyone who was in the area on Saturday just before 3.30pm and would urge anyone with information to get in touch.”

Police are still appealing for witnesses and information from the public.
