Detectives are continuing to hunt the killer of a Birmingham father who was stabbed to death in Sparkhill. It is nearly 72 hours since Malik Hussain was murdered in Baker Street, near to the junction of Warwick Road and Golden Hillock Road, late last Friday. The brutal death of the family man has sent shockwaves through the local community but despite pleas for help, police have not yet made any arrests.
Officers believe Malik Hussain may have been targeted by the person who stabbed him and have stepped up their appeal for dashcam footage of a car which was seen in the area around 11pm.
Emergency services dashed to the scene, outside Thunder Road motorbikes and opposite Arden Primary School, but the 35-year-old was pronounced dead.
Camera footage taken in the aftermath of the death show a crowd gathered with police and the ambulance.
Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield, from the force’s homicide team, said: “A man has sadly lost his life and we’re working to establish the circumstances around his death.
“He was discovered in the street with serious injuries and we’re particularly keen to gather information about a car which fled from the area. At this stage we believe this may have been a targeted attack and we’re keen to hear from anyone with information which can assist our enquiries.”
A post mortem is set take place in due course.
Flowers, marked to ‘a special brother’ and a balloon with the words ‘R.I.P Son’, were left on the spot where he died. Meanwhile, tributes continue to pour in on social media.
