Three men arrested over murder of man stabbed in Birmingham after girl, 15 and woman also held
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was fatally stabbed in Birmingham yesterday.
The suspects – aged 22, 30 and 40 – were detained at separate addresses in Nottingham early this morning and have been transported to the West Midlands for questioning.
A 28-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl who were arrested at the scene remain in police custody.
The victim was found with a stab wound to his chest near the junction of Bristol Road and Mill Pool Way, Bournbrook. He was transferred to hospital but was pronounced dead at around 6.15pm.
Detective inspector Stu Mobberley, who is leading the investigation, said: "We’ve made rapid progress overnight having worked with colleagues at Nottinghamshire Police to arrested three men we believe were involved in the stabbing.
"Our enquiries continue and we are actively seeking at least one other person.
"I still really need to hear from anyone who was in Mill Pool Way, Bournbrook, at around 4-5pm yesterday and who saw what happened or any disorder to get in touch.
"They may have seen something important so please call."
Bristol Road was closed last night but has since reopened, however a police presence remains in Mill Pool Way.
The usually busy Bristol Road was closed as detectives looked to preserve any potential evidence.
A blue forensics tent was positioned over evidence on the road as detectives and officers searched nearby hedgerow.
The man was found in the newly developed Pebble Mill site that used to be the location for the BBC studios, but is now home to Birmingham’s Dental Hospital and a Bupa care home.
