Manhunt after mother and daughter killed
POLICE have launched a double murder investigation after a mother and daughter were stabbed to death in Solihull yesterday.
Janbaz Tarin, 21, is being sought by West Midlands Police in connection with the murder of his former partner Raneem Oudeh, 22 and her mother, Khaola Saleem, 49.
The two women were found just after midnight with serious stab wounds yards from Ms Saleem’s house on Northdown Road, a quiet, residential street. They later died at the scene.
Last night West Midlands Police appealed directly to Tarin to hand himself in and warned members of the public not to approach him.
A large police cordon and forensic tents were erected on the lawn of the property yesterday and relatives were later seen visiting the scene.
Neighbours said they were awoken at around 00:30 by screaming and one woman saw a man leave in a van.
Neighbours said they believed the two women came to the UK from Syria around 16 years ago, and that the Miss Oudeh had a 15-month old child.
Det Insp Caroline Corfield said: “If anyone knows where [Tarin] is or thinks they may have seen him, ring 999 immediately. My message to Tarin would be that it’s vitally important that we speak to you, so please do the right thing and let us know where you are.”
