Babacar Diagne was just 15-years-old. He was living in Coventry at the time but was previously residing in Sutton Coldfield. Babacar was found collapsed on grassland off Petitor Crescent, Wood End, at around 7pm on Wednesday having been stabbed. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post mortem examination yesterday revealed he’d been stabbed multiple times.
Last night our detectives arrested a 15-year-old lad from Coventry on suspicion of murder.
The boy was detained from an address in the Canley area of the city along with five other people who have been detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.
It’s understood Babacar was attacked by three black males who arrived at the murder scene on pedal cycles. The reason behind the attack is not clear but homicide detectives are working on a number of possible motives.
They have already completed local enquiries and spoken to several witnesses. CCTV has been seized for examination and work continues to sift through the many hours of footage in the hope the killers will have been caught on camera.
Detective Chief Inspector Scott Griffiths from our Homicide Unit is leading the investigation. He said: “We have a team of officers working solely on this enquiry. There is lots of work going on behind the scenes to understand exactly what happened and who is responsible.
“We have arrested one boy on suspicion of murder but we believe two others were directly involved in the attack that resulted in Babacar’s death.
