Life support turned off for stabbed boy

-

A BOY of 16 who was stabbed outside a college has died after his life support was turned off.

He was in a coma after being knifed in the chest on Wednesday and he passed away on Friday with his family present.

Chief Superinten­dent Kenny Bell said: “This is a dreadful loss of another young life to knife crime.”

Two men, aged 18 and 19, suffered minor cuts in the incident at Joseph Chamberlai­n sixth form college in Birmingham.

A man of 19 was charged with attempted murder but that will now be reviewed after the death.

He faces the city’s crown court tomorrow.
