4 year olds behaviour at my wits end!

My 4 year old son’s behaviour over the last few weeks has been really bad to the point where he’s having meltdowns over everything being told he can’t have something sets him off to the point where he’s throws his toys about, hits and bangs on things. He’s even tried the whole biting me and his dad too we’ve tried the naughty step which makes him worst sending him to his room where he just comes back down kicking off still, he’s been under speech and language from a young age and has recently in the last few months started with a stammer which there are saying is making him frustrated which could be the reason for this behaviour but I’m not buying that as even just to be asked to tidy his toys away causes these melt downs in the last week or so he’s started copying what we are saying when we are telling him off and just laughing like his not bothered he’s in trouble! Or when he’s in trouble he’ll say mummy your making me sad which makes me feel guilty we’ve tried everything from taking toys off him sending him to bed naughty step! I’m just at my wits end with this now. He has recently become a big brother his little brother is now 9 weeks old and family member have said that maybe that could be why he’s behaving the way he is but would that not have started when baby was born? His behaviour has only recently started to change, is it just a age thing and he’s seeing how far he can push us? Is there anything we’ve not tried that could possible work in changing this behaviour he’s akways been such a good well behaved boy and have never really been told off up until these last few months where everyday he’s having these meltdowns it’s like he’s got a really short fuse. I’m just worried that maybe there is something more going on with him or that he doesn’t know how to control these feeling when he’s gets so angry?
