Man, 21, charged with murder after daughter and mother stabbed in Solihull

A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder following the deaths of a daughter and a mother in Solihull.

Janbaz Tarin will appear before magistrates in Birmingham on Saturday in connection with the deaths of Raneem Oudeh, 22, and her mother Khaola Saleem, 49.

The pair were stabbed at Ms Saleem’s home in Northdown Road in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday.

Tarin, Ms Oudeh’s former partner, was arrested on Thursday evening in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham.

Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield, from the Homicide Team, said: “The response to our appeals over the last few days has been fantastic and resulted in arresting and charging Tarin. I would like to personally thank the community
for their support.

“Our thoughts continue to remain with Raneem and Khaola’s family who have been kept fully updated by this development.”

A post-mortem found the two women died from multiple stab wounds.

Ms Oudeh had a two-year-old child – though Tarin is not the father – and her mother had six children, with both victims originally from Syria.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Ms Saleem’s brother-in-law said: “The family would like to express their sincere thanks for all the police are doing to bring justice for Khaola and Raneem.

“They would also like to thank the local Birmingham community and general public for their continued help and support.

“At this time, their hearts go out to their loved ones who had their lives so tragically cut short and especially to the young children they left behind.

“May they soon rest in peace and may justice be done.”
