🔴 MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER OF LILY WHITEHOUSE, 19

In a case that is being widely misreported, as we detail below, a man has appearedu in court charged with murder after the death of 19 year old Lily Whitehouse in Oldbury.

41-year-old Mohammed Azim, of Tividale Road, Tipton, appeared before Wolverhampton Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 8 November and was remanded in custody. He is next due to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 11 November 2025 for a preliminary hearing, with a plea and trial preparation hearing scheduled for 16 December 2025.

Emergency services responded when Whitehouse was found with serious injuries in Oldbury. Park Street at around 9.50pm on Wednesday 5 November 2025. Despite efforts by paramedics, Lily Whitehouse was pronounced dead at the scene.

WMP stated on 7th Nov authorities that Whitehouse, a young mother was believed to be known to the suspect.

Azim was arrested on suspicion of murder the following day. On Friday 7 November, he was charged with murder.

Dozens of floral tributes, balloons, and teddy bears have been left at the scene on Park Street. Messages attached to the flowers describe her as a “beautiful soul” and “devoted mum.” Her family has asked for privacy and cautioning against fake online fundraisers, urging donations only through verified channels to support funeral costs and her child.

In social media discussions, Azim’s identity has been falsely linked to a man of the same name who previously committed serious sexual offences in the Oldbury area. We can confirm that records show these are in fact two different men.

According to the most recent available information, 43-44 year old Mohammed Azim is currently serving a prison sentence for rape, having been sentenced to 16 years imprisonment in 2013, and, classified as a dangerous offender, very unlikely to be eligible for release before July 2029, further underlining the need for accurate reporting.
