Two more teens arrested over mosque stabbing death
HandoutTwo more teenagers have been arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing outside a mosque.
Zeeshan Afzal, 18, was discovered with serious injuries on Oldbury Road in Smethwick following disorder on 20 February and died shortly afterwards.
Two 17-year-olds, who cannot be legally named, were taken into custody for questioning on Tuesday morning.
Three other teenagers have been charged with murder over the 18-year-old's death and police have appealed for anybody with information to come forward.
Det Insp Ade George said inquires were continuing and police believed there were a number of people who had information but had not spoken so far.
"Your information, alongside what we've received so far, could be vital in helping us get justice for Zeeshan and his family. It's tragic someone so young has had their life taken away from them," George added.
