Detectives are appealing for help to find Lenville Waite, as they continue to investigate a fatal stabbing in Birmingham.

The 59-year-old from Small Heath is wanted on suspicion of the murder of his brother Clifton Waite.

It follows the fatal stabbing of the 56-year-old, who was known as Colton, at an address in Waverley Road South at around 9.50am on Tuesday (7 November).

Specialist officers are supporting the wider family, and are keeping them updated on enquiries.

Det Insp Jim Colclough, from Force CID, said: "Our thoughts remain with the Waite family at this awful time and our extensive investigations are continuing as we remain focussed on bringing them some closure."

If you've seen Lenville Waite, who is also known as Tony, don't approach him but call 999 immediately.

Anyone with any other information that they believe may help, should call 101 or contact Live Chat on the police website, quoting log 3840 of 7/11/22.
