Three more people have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Zeshaan Shaukat, who was stabbed to death outside his house in Birmingham.

The men, in their 20s and 30s, remain in custody today after being arrested overnight.

Mr Shaukat, aged 34, was attacked at around 11.50pm on 25 August outside his home on Ashville Avenue. Sadly, he died of his injuries in hospital on 28 August.

Our investigators have been gathering CCTV and carrying out other enquiries as we build a full picture of what happened and who was responsible.

Extra patrols have been happening in and around the area to reassure the community since the attack.

Det Insp Nigel Box, leading the investigation, said: "These arrests are another significant development in our investigation, and we have updated Mr Shaukat’s family.

"We’ve now arrested 11 people as part of our investigation, and we expect that number to grow as our investigation progresses.

"While we are making good progress, it’s still really important that people with information come forward and tell us what they know, so that we can bring everyone involved in this violent attack to justice."
