A man has been charged with the murder of a clubber after a night out in Birmingham.

Jason Bentley-Morrison, 25, was fatally injured in a fight on Oxford Street, Digbeth, at about 02:45 BST on Sunday.

He died later in hospital from a stab wound to his abdomen, a post-mortem examination revealed.

The accused - 30-year-old Zechelle Reid, of Pugh Road, Aston, Birmingham - is due to appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Mr Bentley-Morrison's family said he was "irreplaceable" with "a heart as big as the ocean".

"Never has a man with so little time on this Earth affected so many hearts and minds as profoundly as him," they said in a tribute.

West Midlands Police said detectives were continuing to investigate the circumstances of Mr Bentley-Morrison's death and appealed for witnesses to come forward.
