Detectives continue to question 18 year old suspect as part of Birmingham murder investigation

Detectives are continuing to question an 18 year old man on suspicion of murder in Birmingham.

A man died from stab wounds he suffered in the Digbeth area of the city yesterday morning.

Two people also arrested over the attack have been released on bail.

Detectives believe that there were a number of people who were at the apartment or nearby at the time of the incident.

They've created an online portal where people can leave information and any footage that they may have taken.

West Midlands Police's Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Jim Mahon, said: "The apartment was being used as a venue for a party which had been advertised through social media platforms.

"We believe that a large amount of people either attended the party or had their attention drawn to the noise and large presence there.

"We believe people may have information, photographs or videos of the party and incident. We ask that anyone present come forward to provide us with information about the event. Also for the public to send in any media that may assist.

"We are supporting the victim's family who are understandably devastated at the loss of their loved one in such tragic circumstances and our thoughts remain firmly with them. We need to fully understand the circumstances that led to this young man's death."

Anyone with information can access the portal or they can contact West Midlands Police by calling 101 quoting log number 576 of 29/6/23.

People can also leave information anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers the independent charity on 0800 555 111.
