Stourbridge murder suspect arrested

A man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was found at a flat in Norton, Stourbridge, police revealed today.

The suspect, aged 37, was detained along with a 25-year-old man suspected of burglary and a man, aged 45, on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug, shortly after the body was discovered in Caslon Crescent.

Police launched their investigation after paramedics were called at 1pm on Saturday to reports of a man suffering a cardiac arrest at a ground-floor flat.

The man, aged 44, was declared dead at the scene and ambulance staff called West Midlands Police.

The death is being treated as "unexplained" while police wait for post mortem results. All three men have been bailed pending further inquiries.
