A 29-year-old man has been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of a man in Sparkbrook, Birmingham. Ahmad Alkozai was arrested in Bristol less than 24 hours after the incident on Walford Road on Thursday evening.
West Midlands Police responded to the scene around 6.20pm and found the victim, believed to be in his 40s, who died shortly after emergency services arrived.
Alkozai has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Walsall Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
