Three teenagers arrested at Rhyl hotel over alleged murder in Walsall

Three arrests made at a hotel in Rhyl earlier this week were linked to a murder investigation, police have revealed.

Armed officers were seen at the Premier Inn in the town on Tuesday night.

West Midlands Police have now confirmed three teenage boys, one aged 15 and two aged 16, were arrested at the hotel on suspicion of the murder of Bailey Atkinson, who was stabbed to death in Walsall.

They have since been taken to the West Midlands for questioning over the death of Bailey, 20, who was attacked on Walsall High Street, near Asda, in the early hours of Saturday.

He was taken to hospital, but later died of his injuries. A post-mortem revealed that Bailey, of Bloxwich, had died of multiple stab wounds.

Speaking at the weekend, Bailey’s family said “We respectfully ask for privacy at the moment while we grieve the loss of our beloved boy Bailey. Our kindhearted and much-loved son, brother and grandson.

“Bailey was so loved, by so many and will be missed so much.

“We request if anyone has any information, they please come forward to help the police with their enquiries to help catch the individuals who done this and taken away our boy.”
