An Iraqi man who was found dead in his Birmingham hostel room earlier this week has been identified by police, BBC reports.
The man has been identified as Bakhitar Ahmad Kheder Mirawdali, 40. He was was found by a member of staff at the hostel in Soho Road, Handsworth on February 2 and is believed to have died of a wound to the neck.
BBC is reporting that Mirawdali had been granted political asylum and had been living in the UK for a number of years, but was planning to return to Iraq to get married.
West Midlands Police believe his body had lain undiscovered for two days before being found on Thursday.
A man has currently been arrested in relation to the case, but police are still urging anyone with information to come forward.
Let’s just say we won’t be visiting this hostel anytime soon.
