Hakeem hussain Image of 7 year old found outside house

An image has been released of a schoolboy who was found outside a Birmingham house in near freezing temperatures.

Hakeem Hussain suffered a cardiac arrest and suspected hypothermia. His post-mortem examination is due to take place today.

It is understood that the 7-year-old may have been in the near freezing temperatures outdoors for some time before his body was found.

A 56-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of wilfully ill-treating a child while a woman, 35, was arrested on suspicion of wilfully neglecting a child.

Both have been bailed while police continue to investigate.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to a house in Cook Street, Nechells Sunday morning.

Hakeem was a year 3 pupil at Nechells Primary Academy. Pupils have been offered counselling and the headteacher has written to parents about the tragedy.
