Police have launched a murder investigation after a teenager was stabbed in Wolverhampton.

Officers were called to West Park by paramedics just before 4.30pm this afternoon (7 March), but sadly he was declared dead a short time later.

Detectives are working to confirm his identity and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Ch Supt Richard Fisher, of Wolverhampton Police, said: "It's absolutely tragic that we have lost another young life to knife crime.

“Our enquiries are at a very early stage, and we have detectives working flat out to find whoever is responsible and bring them into custody as soon as possible.

“We'll be increasing patrols and offering reassurance to the community, and supporting everyone affected, over the coming days.”
