Tributes to young boy found in near freezing conditions

Tributes have been paid to a seven-year-old boy who was found outside a house in near freezing conditions.

Hakeem Hussain was found in Nechells, Birmingham, on Sunday. A post-mortem today proved inconclusive and further tests will now be carried out.

Hakeem was a pupil at Nechells E-ACT Academy, where today the headteacher described him as the 'most beautiful little boy'.

She said:

She recalled his performance in last year's Nativity play. He didn't leave a 'dry eye in the house'.

A man and a woman were arrested on suspicion of wilfully ill-treating a child and have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
