Police have now confirmed a 17-year-old who was fatally stabbed in Marston Green on October 29 to be Reuben Higgins.

In a statement released today paying tribute to Reuben, his “devastated family” said: “Reuben was a loving son, grandson, brother, nephew and cousin who will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

“Life will never be the same without him.”

West Midlands Police have charged three teenagers with murder relating to the knife attack.
