Dudley double murder probe: Two men shot dead in car on West Midlands industrial estate

Two men have been shot dead in a car at an industrial estate in Dudley, West Midlands Police said.

The victims were found critically injured inside a vehicle parked outside industrial units near Moor Street in Brierley Hill just before 3.30pm on Wednesday.

It is understood the victims – who have yet to be formally identified – were killed at the site shortly after 1pm, police said.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said they sent one ambulance and two paramedic officers to the incident.

"On arrival, crews discovered two male patients, both of whom were inside a car, it is believed they had been there for some time," a spokesman said.

"Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent nothing could be done to save either of them and they were confirmed dead at the scene."

In a statement, West Midlands Police said: "A post mortem examination will take place in due course.

"We sealed off the industrial estate, put cordons in place to preserve the scene and enquiries are already well underway.

"We’re appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time who saw or heard anything suspicious to get in touch."

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting log 3204 from September 30.
