AN Iraqi man was still being questioned by police last night about the death in a Middlesbrough shopping mall of a Kurdish refugee.
Mohammed Ali, 22, was repeatedly stabbed in the neck in the Cleveland Shopping Centre, busy with sales shoppers, last Friday. He was seen to run into the street where he collapsed, dying later in hospital.
An Iraqi, also aged 22, who was arrested in Birmingham, on Sunday night, is being questioned by detectives.
Cleveland Police also made inquiries among Teesside's Kurdish community, and renewed an appeal for witnesses to the stabbing to contact them on (01642) 301543, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
