West Midlands Police have arrested a fourth man on suspicion of the murder of Cody Fisher, who was stabbed to death in a Birmingham nightclub on Boxing Day.

The 18-year-old was held in Erdington just before 7am today (12th January) and will be questioned over the death of Cody.

Cody, 23, was stabbed on the dance floor of the Crane nightclub on Adderley Street in Digbeth just before midnight on Boxing Day.

Two men, Kami Carpenter, 21, and Remy Gordon, 22 are charged with Mr Fisher's murder. The men, both from Birmingham, were remanded into custody following a court hearing on the 4th January. They are set to stand trial in July. A third person has also been released on bail.

Detective Inspector Michelle Thurgood, leading the investigation, said: “We know lots of people at The Crane were using their mobile phones to take pictures and video on the night.

“If anyone has images from the evening that shows what happened before, during or after the incident, we really need to see it. It could provide vital to our investigation.”

Crane nightclub had its licence suspended for 28 days after accusations by police that there had been "serious management failings" on the night of the incident.
