Man charged with murder of Christopher Harm in stab attack
A man has been charged with the murder of a stab victim found close to Merry Hill shopping centre.
Christopher Harm, aged 25, died at the scene in Engine Lane, Brierley Hill, at around 1am on Saturday.
A police cordon was erected yesterday near The Waterfront and opposite the major shopping destination.
Glen Elvin, aged 25, of no fixed address, was arrested nearby on Saturday morning.
Today police confirmed he had been charged with murder.
He will appear at Dudley Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
A forensic post mortem examination concluded Mr Harm died from a single stab wound.
Detective Inspector Harry Harrison, from the Homicide Team, said: “This is such a tragic waste of a life.
"Our thoughts continue to remain with Christopher’s family who have been kept fully updated by this development."
Mr Harm's family have paid tribute to him through a statement issued by West Midlands Police.
They said: “A loving son, dad and brother gone so tragically and a family left in pieces forever."
Two other people arrested were released with no further action, say police.
The attack came just hours after a man, aged in his 30s, was stabbed to death in Wolverhampton.
