A third man has been charged with murdering footballer Cody Fisher, who was stabbed at a nightclub in Birmingham.

18-year-old Reegan Anderson from Erdington will appear in court today (Jan 13) after being arrested by West Midlands Police on Thursday.

Mr Fisher was on a night out with friends when he was stabbed on the dance floor of Crane in Digbeth on Boxing Day.

Two men have already appeared in court charged with the 23-year-old's murder, while a third has been released on police bail.

Detectives investigating the stabbing have set up a dedicated web page for information, photographs and videos that could assist the inquiry.

Life-saving bleed kits are being installed at several clubs and venues in Birmingham after the killing, which led to Crane's licence being withdrawn.

The kits were donated by the Daniel Baird Foundation, a charity started by Lynne Baird after her son Daniel was murdered with a knife in Digbeth in July 2017.

Kami Carpenter, 21, and Remy Gordon, 22, were charged with murder five days after the death of Mr Fisher.

Both have been remanded in custody to face a trial due to start on July 3.
