A tragic dad-of-two who was stabbed to death in broad daylight has been named and pictured for the first time.

Dale Grice, 32, was stabbed to death outside a property Birmingham shortly before 7am on Saturday morning.

Emergency services rushed to the scene in Kingstanding but the dad was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

His devastated family have now released a statement describing him as “popular” and “loved by everybody”.

They said: “Dale was very popular and loved by everybody; he didn’t have a bad bone in his body. He had an infectious smile that would light up a room and now he lights up the sky.

“His family and friends are left devastated. He leaves behind his eight and six-year-old daughters, his sisters, his mother, his aunties and uncles and his nan. He will be missed dearly by all that knew him.”

Police say they have charged a man – Ravinder Heer, 37, from Walsall – with Dale’s murder. He will appear before Birmingham magistrates tomorrow.

West Midlands Police Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield, who is leading the investigation, said: "Our sympathies are with Dale's family at this desperately sad time.

“We have specialist officers supporting them after hearing such terrible news.

"Although we have charged a man with Dale's murder, our investigation continues and we still welcome information about the circumstances of his death."

Police previously asked for two men and a woman, seen leaving the scene, to come forward as potential witnesses.
