POLICE have released images of two men they wish to trace after an attack at Brindley Place in Birmingham in which a man was fatally wounded.

West Midlands Police want to speak to the two men as they believe they could have been vital witnesses to the incident, on Sunday August 29 just off Broad Street, which led to the death of Matthew Carroll, aged 50, who had been out with his son and friends.

Matthew, known as Matty, was taken to hospital with head injuries after the attack at around 1.30am but he was pronounced dead later that day.

Officers investigating Mr Carroll's tragic death have charged a 33-year-old man with manslaughter but investigations continue.
