He is set to appear at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday, said West Mercia Police.

Arshdeep Singh, 24, of Shaw Road in Tipton, Jagdeep Singh, 22, of Goodrich Mews, Dudley, Shivdeep Singh, 26, and Manjot Singh, 24, both of Greenfield Road in Smethwick, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Wednesday charged with murder and were remanded in custody.

Another man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail.
