Two men charged with murder of Cody Fisher, 23, who was stabbed to death on nightclub dance floor on Boxing Day
COPS have charged two men with the murder of Cody Fisher who was fatally stabbed at a nightclub in Birmingham on Boxing Day.
Kami Carpenter, 21, and Remy Gordon, 22, have this evening been charged with murder and affray.
A 22-year-old man also arrested on suspicion of 23-year-old Cody’s murder has been released on bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Ian Ingram said: “This is a significant development in our investigation as we seek to get justice for Cody, his family and friends.
“We’ve received fantastic support from the public who’ve really helped us in our enquiries so far.
“However, we’re still really keen to hear from anyone with information who has not already spoken to us. Every piece of information helps our investigation.”
It comes after the nightclub where the footballer died had its licence suspended for 28 days yesterday.
Birmingham city council will review if it closes the Crane permanently.
Police told the licensing sub-committee there were serious management failings when they responded on Boxing Day.
The West Midlands force previously said Mr Fisher, 23, died in a fight on the dancefloor and officers faced a scene of chaos.
One sergeant’s account said: “There were hundreds of drugs bags and nitrous oxide canisters all over the dancefloor.”
The officer said club security asked police to help with crowd control, while “oblivious” staff were told to stop cleaning the crime scene.
