Detectives from the West Midlands Police investigating a fatal stabbing in Crowne Plaza Birmingham on Tuesday (21 July), have released details of a man they are searching for.
Ceasar Bello, who also uses the name Peace, aged 18, is being sought over the killing of Panashe Bako, aged 20, who was fatally stabbed at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Holliday Street at around 7:20pm.
A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday (22 July) and he remains in custody after West Midlands Police were legally given more time to question him.
Police believe Bello may be in London after the fatal stabbing, but he has not yet been arrested.
Muhammad Khan was detained over the killing of 20-year-old Panashe Bako, the 19-year-old, of Gowan Road, Washwood Heath, has been remanded to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court tomorrow (24 July). He also faces one count of robbery.
Detective Inspector Jim Colclough, from our homicide team, said: “My thoughts remain with Panashe’s family and friends at this very sad time.
“Our investigation into this tragic loss of a young man’s life is moving quickly as we try and determine exactly what happened.
“We believe Bello may have been involved and that he may have fled to London, so I’m asking for your help in tracing him.
“If anyone knows where he is or thinks they may have seen him, I’d urge them to contact us immediately.
“Anyone who may be shielding him through a sense of misguided loyalty, should be aware that they are committing an offence and could be prosecuted.
“It’s vitally important that we speak to him so I urge him to do the right thing and let us know where he is.”
Anyone who sees Bello is asked not to approach him but contact us immediately.
In a tribute to Mr Bako his family said: “Panashe was loved by many family and friends. We have been robbed and the pain is too much to bear.
“Our family will never be the same again. Fly high Pipi.”
