NATIONAL NEWS: Three Boys Die After Falling Into Frozen Lake

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

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

A search of the lake continued overnight after reports up to six children had fallen in, but police warned it was "no longer a search and rescue operation".

West Midlands Fire Service said on Sunday that by the time they arrived, police and members of the public were in the water trying to reach the children.

Witnesses also described seeing firefighters in the lake smashing the ice and three people getting medical attention.

Two children were taken to Birmingham Children's Hospital and the others to the city's Heartland's Hospital.
