An 18-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a teenager in Radstock.

Joshua Delbono of Slipps Close, Frome, remains in police custody pending his appearance before Bath Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday 3 August).

Three other people have been arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into the 16-year-old boy’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.

It follows an incident on Sunday evening (31 July), where officers and paramedics were called to a car park in The Street.

They found a young man, aged 16, had been stabbed during a disorder involving a number of people.

The investigation continues and detectives still want to hear from anyone with information which could help.

If you can help, please call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5222182800, or complete an online appeals form.
