Flowers have been laid on a street in Netherton where a man in his 60s was killed by the driver of a suspected stolen car.
The man died after being hit by the grey Audi S8, which then crashed into a house, on Morgan Mews at around 9.05pm on Thursday, April 13.
The man who was driving the car fled the scene before police were able to speak to him, running along Swifts Lane in the direction of St Bernard’s Drive.

Detectives think the car was stolen in a burglary in the Caithness Drive area of Crosby during the early hours of Thursday. It was later recovered by police in Rainford.
A police sign appealing for witnesses to the tragic incident has been put up on Poulsom Drive, near Morgan Mews. Bunches of flowers have also been put down in memory of the victim.
Detective chief inspector Andy McCourt said: “This is truly a horrific incident in which an innocent member of the public has been tragically killed by a stolen car.
“The driver of the car has then made off on foot. I am today appealing to that driver do the right thing and hand themselves in to police. It is only a matter of time before we find you and arrest you. The family and friends of the man who was killed have been left devastated by their loss and I am determined that we will get justice for them.
“If anyone in the community who knows who that person is or have any information I would urge them to come forward. I would also appeal for any witnesses who may have CCTV, dash cam or doorbell footage in the area of the collision or in the areas of Caithness Drive and Harrison Drive to please come forward and assist us.”
