Police are treating the death of a woman at a house in Birmingham this morning as a murder.

Officers were called to Unett Street just after 6am, finding a 19 year old woman with fatal injuries. A cordon remains in place at the scene.

West Midlands Police are now trying to trace a man seen leaving the building shortly before emergency services were called - he's thought to be known to the victim.

Detective Inspector Jim Mahon said:

“This is a tragic death of a young woman with her whole life ahead of her.

“We are speaking to other residents at the multi-occupancy address and exploring CCTV to understand what has happened.

“We have a suspect who we are keen to speak to, who is thought to be known to the young woman.”

Anyone with information is being urged to contact police.
