Teenager arrested over fatal screwdriver stabbing
The YamYam 19 Mar 10
A 16-year-old boy has been arrested and held by police in Walsall on suspicion of murder after Sarfraz Khan, a 24-year-old father of two from Birmingham, was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver at a children’s play area in Sparkbrook.
Mr Khan, from Hodge Hill, died in hospital earlier this week, four days after being stabbed.
Detectives believe Mr Khan, who has two daughters aged two and four, became involved in an argument after a group of up to eight teenagers, including at least two girls, objected to him urinating at the play area.
Officers were still appealing for witnesses and were keen to speak to two female teenagers who they believe were at the scene.
