Stourbridge stabbing: Suspect still being questioned Stourbridge stabbing: Tributes paid to Pierce Wilkinson
(about 1 hour later)
Police are continuing to question a man after a mother and her 13-year-old son were killed and the woman's husband seriously injured in a stabbing attack. A 13-year-old boy who was stabbed to death with his mother at their home was "loyal, caring and conscientious", his school has said.
Peter and Tracey Wilkinson and their son, Pierce, were found with knife wounds in Stourbridge on Thursday morning. Pierce and Tracey Wilkinson were killed in an attack in Stourbridge, West Midlands, while the boy's father, Peter, was seriously injured.
The suspect, in his 20s, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and wounding. Stephen Dunster, headteacher of Redhill School, where Pierce was a Year 8 pupil, said he would be "sadly missed".
He is understood to be known to the victims, West Midlands Police said. He said Pierce "met everyone with a smile" and was "kind and thoughtful".
"He was passionate about his football team, West Bromwich Albion, and was devoted to his pet greyhound dog.
"He was a loving son and brother. Our thoughts and prayers remain with his family, in particular his father Peter and his sister Lydia."
The teenager and his mother were found in the house on Greyhound Lane, Norton, with critical stab wounds at about 08:00 BST on Thursday.
Mrs Wilkinson was pronounced dead at the scene, while Pierce later died in hospital.
Mr Wilkinson, a managing director for manufacturer Hill & Smith Ltd, was found in the garden of the house.
He remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition with stab wounds to his chest and back.
