Ten people have been arrested after police searching for a missing woman found a body at a house.
West Midlands Police said the body, found in Victory Lane, Walsall, at around 8pm on Friday, had not yet been formally identified. A police spokesman said:
The address has been sealed off and a murder investigation has been launched.
Ten people - five men and five women - at the address were arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody at this time helping officers with their inquiries.
The Labour MP for Birmingham Ladywood, Shabana Mahmood, said an arrest in connection with the murder of local pensioner Mohammed Saleem is a "significant step" towards "getting justice".
I welcome the news that an arrest has been made in connection with the murder of Mr Saleem, a much-loved member of our community.
Although nothing can bring him back, the fact that a significant step has been taken towards getting justice for Mr Saleem will be a comfort to his family and the community in Small Heath.
It is shocking that Mr Saleem's brutal murder may have occurred as an act of terrorism - and it is vital that the community continues to support the police as they progress their investigations.

Police received reports of a suspicious item at the Aisha mosque in Rutter Street, Walsall on June 22. Witnesses say the device exploded outside the perimeter building on Friday night but not realising the significance of the “loud bang", they did not report it to police.
It was only when a member of the public recovered the debris and took it inside the mosque the following day, the police were contacted.
