A ninth person has been charged with the murder of Bailey Atkinson, who was stabbed to death in Walsall last month.
The 17-year-old boy, who can’t be named because of their age, will appear before Wolverhampton magistrates today (17 Feb).
Bailey’s family have been updated with this latest development as officers continue to support them in their time of grief.
Police continue to stress there are legal orders in place around the identities of those charged and it’s paramount that their names are not discussed on social media as it is a contempt of court.
WMP continue to offer reassurance to the public by increasing patrols in the area.
Police are continuing these patrols to show to the public that officers are working hard to make our streets safe and reduce the fear of crime.
