Man Arrested in Murder Probe After Tamworth Station Death

Published 9 March 2026

British Transport Police have launched a murder investigation after 28-year-old Dylan Fitzpatrick from Birmingham died from serious injuries at Tamworth Railway Station in Staffordshire. The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, March 8, when officers were called to the station's car park on Victoria Road around 2:20 a.m. following reports of an unresponsive man.

Paramedics attended the scene and provided treatment for injuries consistent with being struck by a vehicle, but Fitzpatrick was pronounced dead at the location despite their efforts. Staffordshire Police initially responded to the call, but British Transport Police took over the lead due to the railway setting. A crime scene was established immediately, with forensic examinations ongoing, and a cordon remained in place to secure the area.

On Monday, March 9, officers arrested a 27-year-old man from the Birmingham area on suspicion of murder. The suspect was detained in Sutton Coldfield and remains in custody as inquiries continue. A 28-year-old woman was also arrested shortly after the incident but has since been released without charge. Police have stated they are not seeking any additional suspects at this time.
