Jamie Meah: Leeds stab victim's family 'desperate' for suspects to be found

Jamie Meah, 18, died in hospital after being stabbed in the street in Hall Lane, Leeds, in March

The family of a man who was stabbed to death in Leeds say they are desperate for four suspects to be found.

Jamie Meah was 18 when he was attacked in Hall Lane, Armley, on 31 March.

West Yorkshire Police have identified Aquade Jeffers, Caleb Awe, Enham Nishat, all now aged 21, and Ranei Wilks, aged 22, from Leeds, as suspects - but all four are thought to have fled abroad.

Mr Meah's family said they "can't move on" until they get more answers.

In a statement released just before the first anniversary of his death, his family said Mr Meah had been looking forward to becoming a father - but that the chance was "snatched away" from him.

They said: "We are still absolutely devastated that Jamie has been taken from us so cruelly and unfairly.

"Every single day over the last year has been so painful for us all, as we struggle to come to terms with what has happened.

"Jamie's son was born in November last year and now faces his future growing up without ever knowing his father, which is something no child should have to live with.

"We still desperately want to see the people responsible ... answer for what they have done, and we feel we can't begin to move on until that has happened."

Police believe the four men initially travelled to Liverpool and then left the country before being identified as suspects.

During the attack last March, a 16-year-old boy was also stabbed and left seriously injured.

Det Ch Insp Damian Roebuck, said: "We are determined to keep doing everything we can to see that those responsible are brought to justice and that Jamie's family finally get the answers they need."
