Three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a man from Birmingham.

He's been named as 29-year-old Jamie Benbow from Handsworth Wood.

Mr Benbow suffered fatal stab wounds at his home address in Washington Drive on Friday evening.

He had managed to alert a neighbour who raised the alarm, but sadly nothing could be done to save him.

Detectives have been working around the clock to examine the scene and explore CCTV.

A cordon remains in place at the property.

Over the weekend, two men, aged 20 and 18, were arrested on suspicion of murder and a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

They remain in police custody for questioning.

Detective Inspector Jim Mahon, from our homicide unit, said:

“Our investigation is continuing at pace and these arrests are a significant step forward, but we still need anyone with information to come forward.

“Our thoughts remain with Jamie’s family at this distressing time.”
