A new suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder after taxi firm boss Mohammed Haroon Zeb was killed in a drive-by shooting three years ago.

The 39-year-old father-of-four was shot in the head outside his home in Queens Cross, Dudley, in the early hours of 31 January 2021, as he was returning from work.

West Midlands Police said a 27-year-old suspect was arrested on Monday.

Hassan Tasleem and Gurdeep Sandhu were convicted of Mr Zeb's murder in January 2023, while Akeel Hussain was found guilty of manslaughter in November.

Known as Haroon, Mr Zeb died in hospital on the same day as the shooting.

His family previously described him as "a beautiful son, brother, father".
