Two more teenagers charged with Bailey Atkinson murder in Walsall

West Midlands Police has charged two further teenagers with the murder of Bailey Atkinson who was stabbed to death in Walsall two weeks ago.

Sonny Loverage, aged 18 from Bloxwich, and a 17-year-old boy from Walsall who can’t be named because of his age, will appear before Wolverhampton magistrates tomorrow (Monday February, 13).

This brings the total number of teens charged with Bailey’s murder to six. WMP said his family have been updated with this latest development as officers continue to support them in their time of grief.

A force spokesperson added: “We continue to stress there are legal orders in place around their identities and it is paramount that names are not discussed on social media as it’s a contempt of court.

“Since Bailey’s tragic death we have tried to reassure the public by increasing patrols and resources. We are continuing these patrols to show to the public that we are working hard to make our streets safe and reduce the fear of crime.”
