A MAN has been arrested after a fatal stabbing at a property in Acocks Green yesterday (January 16).

West Midlands police were called to Arden Road just before 1am where a 44-year-old man was found with stab injuries.

Sadly nothing could be done to save him and he died at the scene.

A murder investigation was immediately launched and a 43-year-old man was arrested in New Street, Birmingham just before midday.

He remains in custody for questioning on suspicion of murder.

Detective Chief Insp Dave Sanders said: “We are in the early stages of our investigation, but we have a suspect in custody.




“The family of the victim has been fully updated and we will be supporting them as our enquiries continue.

“We are also appealing for anyone who saw anything in the Arden Road area around 11.30pm on Monday evening.”
