Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man have issued a plea for dashcam footage which “could be key” in helping them catch his killer.

West Midlands police said Malik Hussain, 35, was found with serious injuries in Baker Street in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham at about 11.20pm on Friday.

He was confirmed dead at the scene.

DI Nick Barnes, from the force’s homicide team, said: “We are working round the clock to find whoever was responsible for Mr Hussain’s death and are following a number of active lines of inquiry.

“However, I am particularly keen to recover any dashcam footage which could be crucial in identifying a car which fled Baker Street soon after the stabbing.

“We believe this could be key in helping us to catch the killer and would ask anyone who can help to come forward as soon as possible.”

Detectives are keen to hear from motorists who were around Baker Street, Warwick Road, Stratford Road and the surrounding areas between 11pm and midnight.
