Birmingham police: stabbings not 'motivated by hate'
Telegraph, 06 Sep 2020
A murder investigation has been launched in Birmingham after one man died following a series of “random” stabbings in the early hours of the morning.
Another man and a woman have suffered serious injuries and five others were injured, West Midlands Police said.
Detectives are searching for one suspect, whom they are still working to identify.
They have linked four incidents that took place in succession between 12:30am and 2:20am on Constitution Hill, Livery Street, Irving Street and Hurst Street as the suspect moved from north to south.
Chief Supt Steve Graham said there was no suggestion that it was a hate crime or that gangs were involved. He said the stabbings appeared to be random, with no obvious links between the victims.
No arrests have yet been made.
