A teenager has been found guilty of murder, after a 13-year-old was stabbed and found dead in a house.
The body of Jahziah Coke, who was stabbed in the stomach and chest, was discovered in Oldbury, near Birmingham, by paramedics responding to a 999 call on 29 August.
The trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court was told the defendant, who cannot be named because of his age, fled the scene and caught a bus to a female friend’s house.
The teenager had denied murder, claiming the wounds were not deliberate, but a jury returned a guilty verdict, by a majority of 10 to two, on Friday.
