A murder investigation has been launched after a man was stabbed to death on the dance floor of a nightclub in Birmingham.

The unnamed 23-year-old was injured at Crane nightclub on Adderley Street, Digbeth, just before 11.45pm on Boxing Day (Monday 26 December).

He had been at an event featuring techno DJ Marco Carola, which started at 3pm.

Despite efforts to save him, West Midlands Police said he was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later.
