Three men arrested in connection with murder of 29-year-old man
Three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a man who has been named as 29-year-old Jamie Benbow.
Mr Benbow suffered fatal stab wounds at his home address in Washington Drive, Handsworth Wood, on Friday evening.
He had managed to alert a neighbour who raised the alarm, but sadly nothing could be done to save him.
Detectives have been working around the clock to examine the scene and explore CCTV. A cordon remains in place at the property.
Overnight two men, aged 20 and 18, were arrested on suspicion of murder and a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. They remain in police custody for questioning.
Detective Inspector Jim Mahon, from our homicide unit, said: “Our investigation is continuing at pace and these arrests are a significant step forward, but we still need anyone with information to come forward.
“Our thoughts remain with Jamie’s family at this distressing time.”
