Taxi Stabbing: Man Charged With Murder

A 28-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Natasha Trevis, who was stabbed to death in a taxi in Birmingham.

The suspect was arrested on Tuesday and later identified in reports as Junior Saleem Oakes, also known as Mohammed Saleem (Salim) Junior Oakes.

He is due to appear before Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning, West Midlands Police said.

Ms Trevis, a mother of three young children, was knifed repeatedly in a taxi in the Northfield area of the city earlier this week.

Both she and her attacker were passengers in the car, police said.

The taxi driver raised the alarm and paramedics worked for 30 minutes to save her, but the 22-year-old from Weoley Castle died at the scene.
