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 tomorrow, Wednesday 3 August.

Three other people have been arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into the teenager's death.

A woman, 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. Please call 101 and give the reference 5222182800..

The Chief Inspector of police visited the crime scene earlier this week to appeal for any information saying locals could expect an increased police presence on the streets.
