A MAN who is wanted for the attempted murder of his wife five years ago remains on the run as police renew their appeal.
Sharaz Ali, 45, stabbed his wife multiple times with a machete and a knife at their home in Birmingham in September 2021.
He faces 23 years in prison after he failed to appear during his trial in August 2022 and was convicted in his absence.
Police believe someone in Birmingham may know Ali’s location and he is also thought to have connections in Croydon, London.
West Midlands Police said: “
“The 45-year-old was convicted after stabbing his wife on 10 September 2021.
“During the trial in August 2022, he failed to appear and a bench warrant was issued by Birmingham Crown Court.
“Ali, who had been living in Stechford, Birmingham was tried and convicted in his absence.
“We’ve been working hard to trace his whereabouts and understand he had been known to stay in Croydon, London, but we believe someone in Birmingham may know where he is.
“We’ve been working with other forces and investigating Ali’s previous movements to try and establish where he is now.
