Police have launched a murder investigation after a man in his 30s was stabbed to death at a property in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Emergency services were called to Selsey Road shortly before 8.30pm on Thursday 5 November. The man was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of emergency services.

A second man, also in his 30s, was taken to hospital with serious stab injuries. Police have not said how either man came to be injured, and the circumstances inside the property have not yet been fully established.

A murder investigation is opened when officers treat a death as suspicious; homicide detectives then lead the enquiry while forensic and scene examinations continue.
