'No amount of justice will bring Isaac Brown back': Senior homicide officer speaks as teen's killers locked up
The lead officer in the investigation of Isaac Brown's killing said he would get no satisfaction from the sentencing of Reehan Nezir and his 14-year-old accomplice.
Nezir and the 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age, were today locked up for the manslaughter of Isaac Brown in West Bromwich on April 7 last year.
Detective Inspector Ade George from the West Midlands Police Homicide Unit, who led the investigation into Isaac's death, said: "It is another case where youngsters choose to carry knives despite the tangible dangers and implications it involves.
Speaking earlier this year at a press briefing at Wodensborough Ormiston Academy, Wednesbury, where Isaac had attended school, the officer said: "But although the advice would be to not get involved in knife crime, it is easier said than done.
"In this case another young life has been lost as a result of young men carrying knives and from a single stab wound because that is all it takes."
