A man has been charged in connection with the death of a grandson of the Specials singer Neville Staple. Fidel Glasgow, 21, died in hospital after being stabbed in Coventry in the early hours of Saturday. An second, unnamed 23-year-old man remains in a serious condition in hospital after the incident.
Glasgow, who is the son of Staple’s daughter Melanie, was found behind Club M in Coventry city centre and rushed to hospital but could not be saved. On Monday, West Midlands police confirmed that a man had been arrested in City Arcade shopping centre in connection with the death.
Atikou Diallo, 23, was charged with violent disorder, grievous bodily harm and possession of cocaine and remanded in custody. He is due to appear at Birmingham magistrates court on Tuesday. DI Harry Harrison said police were still working to identify the person responsible for Glasgow’s death.
Appealing for anyone with information to come forward, he said: “Although an individual has been charged in connection with what happened on Saturday, we’re working round the clock to identify and apprehend Fidel’s killer.
“We are aware that numerous people who were at the club at the time could have vital information about what happened. I am appealing for anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact us.”
“Our thoughts remain with Fidel’s family, who continue to be supported by specialist officers at this difficult time.”
Officers are continuing to speak to witnesses and examine CCTV footage. Anyone with information is urged to contact West Midlands police either via live chat at www.west-midlands.police.uk between 8am to 9pm, by calling 101 at any time, or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
