POLICE are searching for a man wanted in connection with the murder of Jack Donoghue, who was fatally stabbed outside a nightclub in Solihull over the weekend.
Mr Donoghue, 21, was attacked by five people who were “unknown to him”, according to West Midlands Police.
The attack happened at 3am on Saturday, November 30, near the Popworld nightclub on Poplar Road.
Mr Donoghue, who has been described as a “fun loving, doting son” by his devastated family, was taken to hospital but died shortly after.
