A 14-year-old boy arrested for Leo Ross’s murder is now linked to three assaults on elderly victims in Birmingham
Birmingham: A 14-year-old boy is in hot water after being arrested for the murder of schoolboy Leo Ross. Now, he’s also being questioned about three attacks on older folks in the area.
Police say this kid was taken in for questioning after Leo was tragically stabbed in Hall Green. The incident happened on a Tuesday afternoon, and it’s been a tough time for everyone involved.
It turns out that the assaults on the elderly happened just days before Leo’s murder. The victims were in their 70s and 80s, which makes it all the more heartbreaking.
Officers are digging deeper into the case, and they’ve got more time to question the boy. They’re hoping to piece together what happened and why.
Chief Superintendent Richard North has asked the public not to jump to conclusions about the motive. He’s urging anyone with information or footage from the area to come forward.
Meanwhile, the school community is mourning Leo. His headteacher described him as a lively and happy kid with lots of friends. They’re opening a book of condolence to support his family during this tough time.
It’s a tragic situation, and everyone is hoping for justice for Leo and his loved ones.
