Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a footballer who was stabbed to death in a nightclub on Boxing Day.

Cody Fisher, 23, was fatally attacked in the Crane nightclub in Digbeth just before midnight on Monday.

Detectives investigating the murder arrested a 22-year-old in Birmingham city centre and a 21-year-old man in London on Wednesday.

They were both taken into custody for questioning on suspicion of murder, West Midlands police said.

DCI Ian Ingram, from the force’s homicide team, said: “We’re making good progress in our investigation and are building a better picture of what happened.

“We’ve been really pleased with the response from the public and have already had a number of witness accounts and images sent through, which will help with our investigation.

“It’s vital that we hear from everybody who saw any part of what happened that night – no matter how insignificant they think it might be.

“Cody’s family and friends are devastated by what happened, and we’ll continue to work to bring them answers.”
