West Midlands Police have released images of Tiego and Richard Beckles as part of the appeal into the murder of Mr Johnson.

The 30-year-old was found seriously injured in Burcot Avenue in Wolverhampton just after 3.30am on Christmas day, having been stabbed, and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

The force said it was now naming Tiego and Richard Beckles, aged 20 and 19 respectively, as suspects in the investigation and had already made a number of attempts to locate the pair, but said it now needed the public’s help to find the men.

It said it had spoken to witnesses and recovered CCTV footage to build a clear picture of what happened.

Detective Inspector Michelle Cordell, from the Homicide unit said: "Tiego and Richard Beckles will know that they are wanted, and I’d urge them to do the right thing and hand themselves in to police, before we find them.

"If anyone is helping them evade arrest, they should know that they will also face arrest.
