"How can they sleep at night?" James Brindley's suspected killers shown on video for first time

In an emotional appeal for the public's help, Beverley Brindley thanked people for their support in the wake of her 26-year-old son's death.

James was stabbed through the heart while walking home from a night out in Aldridge at around midnight on June 23. He died in his parents' arms.

Today, West Midlands Police issued new video showing the suspects on the night of the tragedy.

The two men are captured in the Whetstone Lane and Churn Hill Road area of Aldridge both before and after James was stabbed on Little Aston Road by The Croft.

The men came from the direction of Bosty Lane and headed back in that direction after the attack.

Detective Chief Inspector Chris Mallett, from Force CID, said today: "This is a significant development in our investigation and I would urge anyone who recognises either of these men to contact us as a matter of urgency.

"James’ family desperately need answers and we are continuing to keep them updated with our investigation, but we also need your help to bring James’ killers to justice."

Speaking to the media at West Midlands Police's Lloyd House headquarters today, Mrs Brindley said: "How can they sleep at night? It's beyond me. If there is anybody who has noticed a change in somebody they know or who thinks can help in any small way, please come forward.

"We need to know. The community of Aldridge needs to know and society needs to know."

She added: "The reaction from people has been the only thing that's kept us going. It's not just people we know, it's people we don't know. We are a community in Aldridge and it's shocked everyone."

James' father Mark said: "If I were to see them, I wouldn't be able to repeat what I would say. They need to do the right thing and hand themselves in. Without question, that is the right thing to do."

James' family spoke of his ambition to open a health food store in Walsall.

Mr Brindley said: "He rarely went out. He preferred to stay in save his money towards his business. He had everything set up for him. He had his whole life ahead of him.

"He had our support and he knew that."
