David Weaver: Birmingham murder plea mystery call
AN ANONYMOUS caller has named a person they suspect of killing of a “quiet, family man” who paid the ultimate price for acting as a peacemaker during a brawl in Birmingham.
Now detectives have urged the person who dialled the Crimestoppers hotline over the death of David Weaver to come forward and make an official statement.
And they pledged to use measures to protect witnesses fearful of giving evidence.
Mr Weaver, aged 44, suffered major head injuries in the attack in Marsh Hill, Stockland Green, last November, as he tried to stop fighting following a function organised in memory of murder victim Lee Wellard at The Hare and Hounds pub.
Despite brain surgery, the Erdington man never recovered and died in hospital on April 26.
Police believe people know who is responsible but they have not been able to charge anyone because key witnesses have been reluctant to come forward.
