Man arrested over hostel murder
12:29pm Thursday 9th February 2012 in News
A 48-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a man who was found dead at a hostel.
The body of Bakhitar Ahmad Kheder Mirawdali, 40, was discovered by a member of staff at the property in Soho Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, on February 2.
A post-mortem examination found he died from a wound to his neck.
West Midlands Police said a 48-year-old man was arrested yesterday in the Winson Green area of Birmingham.
Detective Inspector Buck Rogers said: "This is a complex inquiry and a team of officers are working hard to establish exactly how and why Mr Mirawdali died.
"Our initial inquires suggest he died last Tuesday in a targeted attack and we are keen to speak with anyone who may have seen him in the days leading up to his death.
"Mr Mirawdali was a private man and kept himself to himself but had contacts in London, Leeds, Eastbourne and Burton-on-Trent.
"I would urge anyone who knew Bakhitar Mirawdali to contact us as a matter of urgency."
