Two men have been charged with murdering Khadeem Parris in Northampton

A 16-year-old boy died after being stabbed in the neck, an inquest has heard.

Khadeem Parris, 16, from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, died on Adnitt Road, Northampton on the evening of Tuesday, 7 July.

At Northampton Coroner's Court, senior coroner Anne Pember said the provisional cause of death was a "stab wound to the neck pending further investigation".

She confirmed the teenager's body had been released, and she adjourned the inquest to 10 March 2027.

Fuad Mohamud, 21, of Thorn Hill Walk, Briar Hill, Northampton, and Samrawi Soloman, 20, of Haslewood Square, Leeds, have been charged with murder, and pleaded not guilty at Northampton Crown Court in August.

Both were remanded in custody, with a trial scheduled on 4 January at the same court.

Parris was described by his family as an "amazing" sibling to his older brother and younger sister, and as a "funny, smiling boy".
