CCTV reveals final moments of 17-year-old stalked by 15-year-old boy who stabbed him to death in a case of mistaken identity.

Footage shows Muhammad Hassam Ali crossing Birmingham New Street Station with a friend, unaware that two teenagers were following him with their coats up.

Muhammad and his friend met at the Little Dessert store in Arènes purchases center before walking to Victoria Square.

There they can be seen on CCTV sitting next to steps next to a fountain. nicknamed “Floozie in the Jacuzzi”, when the two 15-year-olds approached them.

One of the 15-year-olds – who was wearing a mask, hat and gloves – can then be seen pulling a knife from his pants, before stabbing Muhammad in the chest and running away.

This followed a conversation of approximately four minutes, during which the attackers accused Muhammad of being involved in a previous attack against their “companion”.

Muhammad reportedly responded: “Brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re making me angry.”

The killer claimed he wanted to “scare” Muhammad and his friend – not hurt or kill them – with a knife he said he carried for protection after being attacked several times before.

A jury found him guilty of murder and possession of a knife.

The 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 13 years.

His friend, also aged 15, was convicted of manslaughter and possession of a knife, and was sentenced to five years in a secure facility.
