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."

Brits with passports issued before 1994 may need to apply all over again

  • Passports issued before January 1, 1994 cannot be renewed normally
  • Travellers may need to apply for a “first adult passport” instead
  • Applicants could be asked to provide birth certificates and citizenship documents

Britons planning holidays this year are being urged to check the issue date on their passport carefully, as some older documents may no longer qualify for a standard renewal.

According to guidance on the UK government website, anyone whose last passport was issued before January 1, 1994 must apply for what is classed as a “first adult passport” rather than renewing it in the usual way.
