Murder probe after woman stabbed

A woman has died in hospital after being found with stab wounds in the West Midlands.

The woman, who has not been identified but is thought to have been in her late 20s, was found in Berkley Road, Shirley, earlier.

She was taken to Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham, where she later died.

West Midlands Police said they had found what they believed to be the murder weapon lying in the road but have not released any more details.

They have sealed off the scene while forensics officers search the area and police officers carry out house-to-house inquiries.
