Three boys aged eight, 10 and 11 have died after falling into an icy lake in Solihull, police have confirmed.

A fourth boy, aged six, remains in a critical condition after the incident at Babbs Mill Park on Sunday afternoon.

A search of the lake is continuing after reports up to six children fell in, but authorities have warned it is “no longer a search and rescue operation”.

The four children were all in cardiac arrest when rescue teams pulled them out.

They were rushed to hospital but West Midlands Police said “they could not be revived”.

Police officers were wading chest deep in the lake on Monday morning but police have not yet confirmed that anyone else is missing.
