An investigation is underway
The family of a 16 year old who died from a stab wound in Northampton, say they’re heartbroken and remember him as funny, kind and always smiling.
Khadeem Parris was looking forward to starting college next month and loved football and gaming.
Police are continuing their murder investigation.
Their statement said:
"“Khadeem was such a funny, smiling boy. He was always singing, he loved a joke, and he was such a kind son – he had a kindness inside of him.
“He had such strength too. He had coped with such a lot in his young life and he was making plans and so looking forward to the future. He was ready and excited to be starting college in August to study to be a plumber and electrician, and really wanted to make the most of the opportunities open to him.
“He loved computer games and his Play Station, and football was another passion, both playing and supporting his favourite team.
“Khadeem was an amazing brother to his older brother and younger sister, enjoying play fights and spending time playing computer games together. They had fun together and a special handshake marked their friendship and closeness.
“Words can’t explain how we feel at this time. We cannot understand it and we are utterly heartbroken at his loss.
“Khadeem, we love you, we miss you and you will always be in our hearts.”
