Milton Keynes stabbings: Three more arrests over double killing at party including boy, 15

Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice were stabbed to death

Another three people have been arrested over the fatal stabbings of two 17-year-old boys at a party in Milton Keynes last month.

A 15-year-old boy from the town was arrested this morning on suspicion of murder, as well as a 53-year-old man and 40-year-old woman both being detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.

The 15-year-old faces two additional counts of attempted murder after his arrest by Thames Valley Police.

Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice were fatally stabbed by masked attackers at the private party on the Emerson Valley estate in Milton Keynes on October 19.

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 been charged in relation to the incident.

Earl Bevans, 22, of no fixed address, Charlie Chandler, 21, of Fitzwilliam Street, 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.

The three charged suspects have been remanded in custody and will appear at Luton Crown Court in January 2020.

A 27-year-old man who was arrested on October 26 on suspicion of conspiracy to murder has since been released under investigation.
