A MAN has been charged after being arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after returning from Pakistan to the UK this week.

The arrest came after two men in their 40s were injured when shots were fired at City Computers in Bertram Road, Smethwick, on January 12 this year.

Following his arrest on Wednesday (July 26), 20-year-old Ahmed Aumair, from Birchover Road, Walsall, was charged with two counts of attempted murder, criminal damage and firearms offences.

He appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Thursday (July 27) where he was remanded in custody.

Three men have already pleaded guilty and await sentencing for the same incident.

Haider Shabir, aged 20, and 23-year-old Mohammed Uwais Latif pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life; and Mohammed Tayyib Wajid, aged 25, pleaded guilty to assisting offenders.

All three will be sentenced on August 11.
