Man, 24, charged with murder four years ago after he was found in Norway
A man has been charged with the murder of a father in Birmingham fours years ago - after the suspect was traced to a house in Norway.
Abdulahi Shire, 24, was arrested earlier this month over the fatal stabbing of Zakir Nawaz in Highfield Road, Washwood Heath, on September 10, 2016.
A European Arrest Warrant was issued shortly after the killing, which was sparked by a road rage incident after a minor collision.
Detectives at West Midlands Police worked with Europol - the European Union's law enforcement agency - to track down Shire.
Shire, of no fixed address, who is originally from Holland, was due to appear in Birmingham Magistrates Court today.
Two other men have already been convicted in connection with Mr Nawaz’s death.
Warsame Mohamed was initially jailed for four-and-a-half years in July 2019 after admitting manslaughter.
But West Midlands Police appealed his sentence as being unduly lenient and the Court of Appeal later increased it to seven years.
And a 29-year-old man was jailed in March 2017 for two years having admitting a charge of violent disorder.
Just 10 days before his death, Mr Nawaz became a father for the second time to a daughter. He also left a two-year-old son and his wife, Georgia.
