Four accused of murdering man attacked in park

Police were called to Perry Hall Park on 16 March after the body of Michael Junior Obasi was found

Four people have been accused of murdering a man who died after being attacked in a Birmingham park.

They were detained after police were called on 16 March to Perry Hall Park, where the body of father-of-one Michael Junior Obasi, 38, was found.

Ion Calin, 18, Manuel Filipache, 21, both from Normandy Road, Birmingham, Ion Morar, 20, of Bragg Road in the city, and a boy aged 15, have been charged with the murder and robbery of Mr Obasi.

They appeared at Birmingham Magistrates' Court earlier and are due before the city's crown court on Tuesday.

All except the 15-year-old are also accused of attempted robbery on 15 January.

The force believes Mr Obasi was the victim of a serious assault, between 19:00 and 20:00 GMT on 14 March, before his body was found two days later.

Two other men who were arrested in connection with his death have been released on police bail, while a third has been told he will face no further action.
