Mum pays tribute as two teenagers charged with murder of boy, 13

Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of a 13-year-old boy who was stabbed inside his home last week.

Jahziah Coke died at the scene on Lovett Avenue, Oldbury, on Thursday.

His mum paid tribute to him in a statement today, saying he was ‘a very polite, kind and family-orientated young man.

‘He was very loving and always smiling. His smile would light up the room. He was very kind-hearted.’

Last night, two teenagers who were arrested on Sunday were charged with Jahziah’s murder.
