Dea-John Reid: 'There has been no justice,' say family of killed teenager by LeahMahon_
Dea-John Reid, 14, was killed in Birmingham in May 2021
George Khan, 39, and Michael Shields, 36, along with two other teenagers were all acquitted of murder.A year on from his death, his family are still campaigning for justice after claiming that a majority white jury did not take into account the fact that the black teenager was called the N-word and a “black b******d” by a member of all-white mob before he was brutally stabbed.
The 15-year-old was captured on CCTV wearing a balaclava and gloves chasing Dea-John with four others before unleashing the brutal stab wound. Dea-John was targeted in the “revenge attack” after a member of his group had been accused of trying to steal a bag from them hours before. “With the overwhelming evidence and for there to be a manslaughter verdict against the person that perpetrated this, it was quite farcical in all honesty,” he said.
The march is expected to begin at 1pm in Twickenham Park where the 14-year-old lost his life before continuing to Perry Park in Birmingham.
