Detectives launch new appeal in James Brindley murder investigation

Detectives investigating the murder of James Brindley in Aldridge on Friday night (23 June) are appealing for two men who approached James moments before his death to come forward.

West Midlands Police say James was seen having a disagreement with these two men moments before he was stabbed.

They were both seen by the entrance of ‘The Croft’ near to the entrance on the Little Aston Road side just before the attack.

Detective Inspector Jim Munro, from force CID, said:

A post mortem examination revealed that James died from a stab wound to his heart, as he walked home after drinking with friends on Friday night.
