A student who was knifed to death at a house party in Walsall has been named as Rezwan Ali.
The 19-year-old died in a knife attack at a house in Willows Road , Chuckery, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police were called to a disturbance at around 1.45am and discovered Rezwan collapsed in the kitchen, having suffered a knife wound to his chest.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives have launched a murder inquiry and are appealing for people with information to get in touch.
They have already spoken to several people who were at the party but are appealing for anyone else to contact the investigation team.
West Midlands Police Detective Chief Inspector Chris Mallett, from the force’s Homicide Unit, said: “We understand up to 50 people may have been at the party at some stage – and each of those is likely to have important information that can help our enquiry.
“We believe there was a fight at some stage and that has ultimately led to a young man losing his life. I would also urge the person responsible to do the right thing and get in touch so that we can hear their side of the story.
“This is a tragic loss of life and our thoughts are with Rezwan’s family and friends who are understandably shocked and distraught at what has happened.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact West Midlands Police on 101 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
