An 18-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a 16-year-old boy in Radstock.
Joshua Delbono, of Slipps Close, Frome, remains in police custody pending his appearance before Bath Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday, 3rd August).
Three other people have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into the teenager’s death.
A woman, aged 20, and a man were arrested on suspicion of murder, while another man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
The woman has now been released under investigation and is no longer in the Avon and Somerset policing area, while the two men, both 18, remain in police custody for further questioning.
The investigation continues and detectives still want to hear from anyone with information which could help.
Police and paramedics were called to a car park in The Street at about 6.40pm on Sunday (31st July) after a 16-year-old had been stabbed during disorder involving a number of people.
The teenager was found critically injured and despite receiving emergency treatment by police officers and paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
