The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner and the father of murdered James Brindley have unveiled Walsall's first weapon surrender bin today.

Mark and Charlotte Brindley lost their son, James, in June 2017.

He was stabbed through the heart in a seemingly unprovoked attack.

The weapon surrender bin is a secure container, designed for people to dispose of knives. It is located at the Tesco on Littleton Street West.

The other bins have so far been placed in Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley, Coventry and Sandwell.

17-year-old Ammar Kahrod was given a life sentence for the murder of the male model.
