West Midlands police have launched a major investigation after a Valentine’s Day massacre in Birmingham today.

They say the victims were rounded up in the Aston area and severely beaten by a gang with Merseyside accents.

The eleven battered men were said to have been easy targets, who were completely unable to defend themselves for an hour and a half.

Suffolk Police have offered the assistance of specialist officers to help investigate the crime, which was witnessed by more than 35,000 people and was caught on Sky CCTV.

“It was quite horrific to see these men being repeatedly attacked by a well-drilled gang on St Valentine’s Day,” a spokesman said.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa were thrashed 6-0 by a rampant Liverpool at Villa Park today.
