Murder investigation launched after man killed in fight at flat
A murder investigation was launched after a man was found dead after a fight at a Birmingham bedsit.
The victim was found badly beaten following reports of a row at the flat in Small Heath on Tuesday night.
Officers were called to a house in Mansel Road – a multi-occupancy home made-up of several bedsits – at 7.10pm.
A man was found unconscious and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Chief Inspector Edward Foster, from West Midlands Police, said: “Clearly we are at an early stage of the enquiry but we understand there was a fight inside the address that has led to a man suffering fatal injuries.
“We have identified some significant witnesses and are conducting quick-time enquiries – but we are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and heard a disturbance or perhaps someone running from the scene.”
Anyone with information is asked to call West Midlands Police on 101 quoting log number 2151 30/1.
