Dead woman in Bordesley Green murder probe has been named

Dead woman in Bordesley Green murder probe has been named

A woman who was found dead in a critically injured situation outside a block of flats has been named.

Marina Shaban, 41, had died at North Holme, off Garrison Lane in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, on Friday (28), as reported by the BBC.


Her family in a statement said that they were devasted by her death, and left behind four children and "a huge family who loved, admired and cared for her deeply".

West Midlands Police said they have started a murder inquiry and post-mortem is expected to be carried out on Monday (31).

Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward because where Shaban was found dead with serious injuries, is a busy area.

"We know this will be a huge shock to neighbours and the local community," Insp Harjit Ubhi was quoted as saying.

"There is an increase in police presence around the area to offer reassurance to people with concerns.

"This is truly a tragic incident and my heart goes out to Marina's family, who are being supported by specialist officers."

For British Asians, there is a whole new world to discover in National Trust properties. Take, for example, Karun Thakar’s remarkable exhibition of textiles on the Blickling Estate in Norfolk.

The exhibition opened on 22 May, and I managed to catch it on Friday 23 October, a week before it was due to close on 1 November. I was shown round the exhibition by Emma Slocombe, the senior national curator (social history) in the National Trust’s access and conservation directorate.
