THE twin brother of a teenager who died after being stabbed has paid a moving tribute to his “second half”.
Michael Ababio, 18, tragically died from his stab wounds yesterday after disorder outside Foleshill Library on Broad Street, Coventry, on Sunday.
Michael’s twin brother has now paid a moving tribute on behalf of his family.
In a moving tribute, his twin said most people “won’t know what it is like to have a twin, but I do”.
He added: “Michael was more than just a brother, he was my second half.
“He aligned with everything that I liked. Words cannot express the pain we are all feeling right now.
“You will be greatly missed. Our family will never be the same, but we hope you’re in a better place now.”
A 19-year-old man, who was also taken to hospital with stab wounds after being found nearby, was later arrested on suspicion of murder, said West Midlands Police.
Officers are also investigating a disorder that happened on nearby Foleshill Road, around 20 minutes after the fatal attack, which the force says it doesn’t believe to be directly related.
Four people have been arrested in connection with that disorder, said cops.
One has since been charged with assault and remanded in custody.
The others have been bailed while the investigation continues, police confirmed.
Det Supt Jim Munro, from the force’s homicide team, said: “Michael’s family have been left devastated by his death, and our focus this evening is solely on getting answers for them and justice for Michael.
“We’ve made good progress already by speaking to witnesses, recovering CCTV, and other enquiries, but we still really need the public’s help.
“If you saw what happened, or you know why someone may wanted to have hurt Michael, please do the right thing for his family and let us know.”
West Midlands Police urged anyone with information to get in touch via 101, quoting log 4185 of 22 February.
