"I couldn't believe it when I saw all the police this morning, it's terrifying" - Those are the words of Andy Clewes, a resident of Swancote Road, Dudley, who was surprised this morning when he heard of the death of a 40-year-old man only doors away.

The shock comes after emergency services were called to the scene at around 2.30am on Saturday, where on arrival they found the 40-year-old man with injuries.

Sadly, despite the efforts of medical teams, nothing could be done to save him. 

Following enquiries, a 36-year-old man was arrested by West Midlands Police on suspicion of murder, with the man remaining in custody while enquiries continue.
