A teenage boy has been charged with knifing a man to death in Bath city centre.
The 15-year-old from south London, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is due to appear before Bristol Magistrates Court today (Monday).
It follows the killing of 18-year-old Ben Moncrieff close to McDonald’s in Southgate Street at around 3.30am on Saturday (6 May).
The boy faces two charges – one of murder and another of possession of a bladed article. He has been remanded in police custody ahead of today’s hearing.
“Ben’s family have been updated of the charging decision and will continue to be supported by specially-trained officers”, a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said.
