Police are continuing to appeal for help to track down Sharaz Ali who attempted to murder his wife three years ago.

The 43-year-old was convicted after stabbing his wife on 10 September 2021.

During the trial in August 2022, he failed to appear and a bench warrant was issued by Birmingham Crown Court.

Ali, who had been living in Stechford, Birmingham, was tried and convicted in his absence.

Police have been working hard to trace his whereabouts and understand he had been known to stay in Croydon, London, but police believe someone in Birmingham may know where he is.

Officers have been working with other forces and investigating Ali's previous movements to try and establish where he is now.

West Midlands Police said: "If you've seen him, or know where he is, please do not approach him, but call 999 immediately, quoting investigation number 20/1410584/21."
