Family pays tributes to Wolverhampton teenage stab victim Ronan Kanda, as murder probe continues

Tributes have been paid to 16-year-old Ronan Kanda who was mercilessly stabbed to death in Mount Road, Lanesfield. The teenager from the Black Country died in Wolverhampton after emergency services discovered he had suffered serious stab wounds.

According to the post-mortem examination, the school boy died after being stabbed twice. The fatal incident is reported to have taken place shortly before 9pm on Wednesday, June 29.


His family is quoted as saying, “Ronan was a kind-hearted, loving, caring 16-year-old. Our son and a brother who would do anything for anyone.

“He is taken from us cruelly and our hearts are broken.

“We want everyone to pray for his soul now. We will always love you our son and my brother and you will live within us now.”

Reportedly, five people have been arrested in connection with Ronan’s murder. A 16-year-old boy, and a 20-year-old man were arrested earlier this week. A second 16-year-old boy was also arrested. While these three suspects remain in police custody, another 15-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man have also been arrested but released on police bail.

As the murder investigation continues, detectives from West Midlands Police are searching through CCTV footage and appealing to whoever was driving through the arear during the time of the crime to check the footage of their dash-cams in the hope of gaining evidence.

Det. Insp. Ade George, who is leading the murder investigation is quoted as saying, "We’re making good progress with our enquiries, but we still need anyone with information to get in touch with us if they saw or heard anything on Wednesday night.

"We know that there were cars driving on the road in the moments before the attack, and it may be that dash cam footage will give us important evidence.

"It’s really important you speak to us if you have any information on what happened, who was responsible, or why Ronan was attacked."

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi apologises after calling Ahmedabad plane crash survivor a ‘liar’

Actor and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has issued a public apology after facing strong criticism on social media for questioning the survival story of Vishwas Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of the recent Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad.

Deleted post sparks backlash

The controversy began when Krishnamoorthi, known for her role in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, shared a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that Vishwas Kumar Ramesh had fabricated his account of surviving the 12 June crash. In her post, she wrote:
“So this #vishwaskumarramesh lied about being a passenger on the plane & the only survivor? This is seriously weird. Didn't his family in the UK corroborate his story? What about his brother's funeral that he was seen giving kandha to? Deserve not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true uff.”

Regulator warns Air India over delayed emergency equipment checks: Report

INDIA’s aviation regulator has warned Air India for violating safety rules after three of its Airbus aircraft operated flights without undergoing mandatory checks on emergency escape slides, according to official documents reviewed by Reuters.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued warning notices and a detailed investigation report highlighting the breach. These documents were sent days before the recent crash of an Air India Boeing 787-8, in which all but one of the 242 people onboard were killed. The Airbus incidents are unrelated to that crash.
