Police search for murder suspect as five arrested

Detectives are searching for a 27 year-old man they want to speak to in connection with a murder after a 39 year-old was killed in Birmingham earlier this year.

Ekrimh Mena’a, 39, died after being found with stab wounds on Hunters Road, Lozells, following disorder in the early hours of 30 September.

A second man in his 20s was also seriously injured.

Five men, aged between 21 and 38, from addresses in Birmingham, were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of murder and attempted murder and remained in custody for questioning, police said.

Anyone who sees Mr Ali who knows of his whereabouts was asked to call 999.
