Third man charged with murder of 'community pillar' who died after being stabbed
A third man has been charged over the murder of Bashir Mohamed in Birmingham.
Nabil Akhtar was arrested earlier this week in connection with the killing of Mr Mohamed in April.
The 30-year-old of Sandhurst Close, Redditch has now been charged with murder.
He appeared before Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday and was remanded until a hearing on May 24.
Mr Mohamed was found critically injured in Shyltons Croft, Ladywood, at just before 4.20am on April 22.
A post mortem revealed the 26-year-old died from a stab wound to his arm.
In a tribute, his family described Mr Mohamed as a “devoted son, loving uncle and affectionate brother who was loved and cherished by all”.
“A bubbly, warm-hearted and selfless individual with a beaming smile and captivating presence.
“A strong pillar of the community. This heart-rending news has shook the city of Birmingham.”
Two other men - 26-year-old Kasim Ifzaal of Ombersley Road, Sparkbrook, and Mohib Tasharat, 24, of Wenlock Road, Birmingham - have previously been charged with murder and also remanded in custody.
Despite these charges West Midlands Police still need to hear from anyone with information who can assist the investigation.
