An 18-year-old man has admitted murdering a teenage college student, who was stabbed after a dispute on a bus.

Azeem Akhtar, who was 17 at the time, was due to stand trial next month accused of killing Azim Azam.

He changed his plea to guilty during a brief hearing at Birmingham Crown Court.

Azim, 16, was on his way to his first day at college when he was found lying in the street after getting off a bus in the Moseley area of Birmingham last September.

Azim, from Billesley, later died in hospital.

Police said the death had followed a dispute between two bus passengers who were known to each other.

Akhtar, of Glen Rise, Kings Heath, was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on March 17.
