Two other men, both aged 24, were also arrested on suspicion of murder following warrants being executed in the West Midlands area this morning (November 7, 2019).

Previously, four other men had been arrested as part of the investigation.

Of those four men, two aged 21 and 35 remain in police custody.

Of the other two, a 42-year-old man has been released under investigation and a 31 year-old man has been bailed.

The investigation continues

Officers were called to Langton Road in Sutton just after 10.30pm on Friday, November 1, to a report of a serious assault.

Mr Ross Ball, aged 42, was stabbed and was later pronounced dead at Nottingham’s Queen's Medical Centre.
