The boy will appear before Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Two other people arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have been released under investigation, Thames Valley Police confirmed.

Ryan Brown, 23, and a 17-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, were also stabbed in the attack and left with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Three other people have already been charged in relation to the incident.

Earl Bevans, 22, of no fixed address, Charlie Chandler, 21, from Bletchley, and a 16-year-old boy who cannot be named due to his age are accused of two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
