Police say they are following 'active lines of inquiry' after launching a murder investigation following the death of the 13-year-old boy
A 13-year-old boy has been stabbed to death at his home in the UK as police launch a murder probe following the "absolutely tragic" incident.
"Two or three people got in the police car. It must have been to calm the situation down. There were police guarding the house all night." "I am grateful to our officers who attended the address and supported the paramedics as they worked in vain to try and save his young life. 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.
A West Midlands Police spokesperson added: "We have launched a murder investigation after a teenager was fatally stabbed at an address in Oldbury. We were called to a property on Lovett Avenue at around 4pm yesterday by the ambulance service." A local told BirminghamLive that emergency services had rushed to the scene. She said she saw "many police cars" as well as paramedics and a police helicopter.
