Dudley: A murder investigation has kicked off after a man in his 40s was discovered dead in the West Midlands. Emergency services rushed to the scene just before 2:30 AM today.

The victim was found on Swancote Road with serious injuries, but sadly, they couldn’t save him. A 36-year-old man was arrested in Wednesbury a few hours later on suspicion of murder.

He’s still in custody for questioning, while police have cordoned off the area to gather more evidence. They’re asking anyone with information, especially if you have dashcam or doorbell footage, to reach out.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police shared that they’re doing everything they can to support the victim’s loved ones during this tough time. They’re also keen to hear from anyone who might have seen or heard anything that could help with the investigation.

So, if you know something, don’t hesitate to contact them through their website or by calling 101 and quoting log 326 of 11/1/25.
