Two more teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murdering an 18-year-old who was stabbed outside a mosque.

Zeeshan Afzal was discovered with serious injuries on Oldbury Road in Smethwick, in the West Midlands, following disorder on 20 February. He died shortly afterwards.

The suspects, both boys and aged 16 and 17, were detained in the Sandwell area on Friday. They remain in custody.

A 17-year-old who cannot be named because of his age has been charged with murder in connection with the case.

West Midlands Police said inquires were continuing and urged anyone with information to come forward.
