West Midlands Police have charged two men with the murder of Cody Fisher, who was fatally stabbed at a nightclub in Birmingham on Boxing Day.

Kami Carpenter, aged 21, and Remy Gordon, aged 22, have been charged with murder and affray.

The pair from Birmingham have been remanded into custody to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court on Monday (2 Jan).

A 22-year-old man also arrested on suspicion of 23-year-old Cody’s murder has been released on bail while police enquiries continue.

Mr Fisher was stabbed on the dance floor of the Crane nightclub in Digbeth, and the venue has since had its licence suspended.

Detective Chief Inspector Ian Ingram, from our homicide unit, said: "This is a significant development in our investigation as we seek to get justice for Cody, his family and friends.

"We've received fantastic support from the public who've really helped us in our enquiries so far.

"However, we're still really keen to hear from anyone with information who has not already spoken to us. Every piece of information helps our investigation."

Four other people arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have been released on bail as our investigation continues.
