Two more teenage boys have been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of 14-year-old Dea-John Reid. Reid was killed in College Road in the Kingstanding area of Birmingham at about 7.30pm on Monday. The teenagers, who have not been named, are a 14-year-old from Wolverhampton and a 16-year-old from Great Barr. They have been arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into police custody for questioning, West Midlands police said. Three people have already been charged over the killing of Reid. On Friday Michael Shields, 35, appeared at Birmingham crown court charged with the boy’s murder. He is due to stand trial next year. Two other suspects, 38-year-old George Khan, of Birmingham, and a 14-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at the city’s magistrates court on Friday. They have been remanded in custody to appear at the crown court on Tuesday. A police statement said detectives were continuing to “work diligently” on the case and had made the arrests after “acting on information”. The statement continued: “It comes as the family of Dea-John have appealed for calm in our communities following his tragic death. It follows social media rumours encouraging trouble in retribution for the teenager’s murder this weekend.” His family previously paid tribute to the “incredibly talented” teenager and called for an end to knife crime, saying: “How many more mothers will have to mourn for their sons for this to stop?”
