Detectives investigating the murder of James Brindley have obtained CCTV footage of two suspects which is now being released in a renewed bid for information.

The two men are captured in the Whetstone Lane and Churn Hill Road area of Aldridge both before and after James was stabbed on Little Aston Road by The Croft on the evening of Friday 23 June as he made his way home after a night out.

It is believed the men came from the direction of Bosty Lane and headed back in that direction after the offence was committed. Detective Chief Inspector Chris Mallett, from Force CID, said:

"This is a significant development in our investigation and I would urge anyone who recognises either of these men to contact us as a matter of urgency.

"James’ family desperately need answers and we are continuing to keep them updated with our investigation, but we also need your help to bring James’ killers to justice."

Anyone with information are urged to contact DCI Mallett’s team on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
