A 16-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a father-of-two who was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver.

The teenager, from Birmingham, was arrested by officers investigating the death of 24-year-old Sarfraz Khan, West Midlands Police said.

He will appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Mr Khan, from Hodge Hill, Birmingham, died in hospital earlier this week, four days after being stabbed during an argument near a children's play area in the Sparkbrook area.

Mr Khan's relatives have paid tribute to him as a considerate and caring man.

In a statement issued by West Midlands Police, the victim's family said: "He had two daughters who are still waiting for their daddy to come back.

"The family is devastated and are suffering because of his death, which has caused a lot of grief and sorrow."
