Overview
- A judge removed a mistakenly applied 310‑day credit to Abdurrahman Summers’ sentence, confirming his 19‑year minimum term runs from his September 15 sentencing under the court’s slip rule.
- Summers, 19, was one of three found guilty of murdering 17‑year‑old Reuben Higgins, with two 16‑year‑olds sentenced to life with minimum terms of 17 and 15 years.
- CCTV captured the group before the attack and later showed Summers leaving the area on a bus, which helped investigators identify the offenders.
- Higgins was chased into Vape Minimarket in Marston Green on October 29 last year and suffered a fatal stab wound to the heart along with other knife injuries before being pronounced dead at the scene.
- West Midlands Police say an identified fourth suspect left the country and remains wanted, with detectives describing the assault as a cowardly and sickening attack.
