Two further arrests over murder

The man was stabbed in the neck in Ely Grove

A boy and a woman have been arrested in connection with the murder of a man who died after being stabbed in a Birmingham street.

The 22-year-old local man died in hospital after being attacked in Ely Grove, Quinton, on Wednesday afternoon.

A 20-year-old man was arrested shortly afterwards.

A 16-year-old Quinton boy has also been arrested on suspicion of murder and a woman, 19, of Kings Norton, is suspected of assisting an offender.

A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out on the dead man later.

'Getting worse'

The man, who has not been formally identified, is believed to have been stabbed in the neck.

The victim is believed to have been visiting a friend when he got into an argument with another man.

Neighbour Aaron Sims, 16, said the dispute began in Blandford Road and ended in nearby Ely Grove.

He said: "There are people carrying knives around here - the area is getting worse."

The road has been cordoned off while investigations continue.

Anyone with information has been urged to contact West Midlands Police or Crimestoppers.
