Charge following man's death in 2016

A YOUNG man has been charged with murder, following a fatal stabbing believed to have taken place in Kingshurst some 18 months ago.
Giovanni Lewis, aged 28, had suffered multiple wounds to the chest on October 18, 2016.
It is believed the Shard End man (pictured, right) was attacked in North Solihull before being taken to Heartlands Hospital. He died shortly after arriving at A&E.
Now Jammal Chase has been charged in relation to Mr Lewis' death, after handing himself into a police station on Friday evening (March 23). Officers had been looking for the 21-year-old for around a year and a half.
He appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court yesterday, charged with murder, attempted murder, possession of an imitation firearm and possession of an offensive weapon. He was remanded in custody and the case will be heard at the city's Crown Court tomorrow (Wednesday).
Police investigations into the incident continue.
Det Insp Paul Joyce, from the homicide team, said: "I would appeal to anyone who holds any information on the whereabouts of where Jammal has been for the last 18 months to make contact with myself or the team on 101."
