Milton Keynes stabbings: Youth charged with murder

Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice were stabbed to death

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with two counts of murder after two teenagers were stabbed to death at a house party.

The boy was detained on Wednesday evening by police investigating the deaths of 17-year-olds Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice in Milton Keynes.

Dom died from a stab wound to the back and Ben was knifed in the chest at a party on the Emerson Valley estate on October 19.

The boy is the third person charged over the deaths and also faces two counts of attempted murder after Ryan Brown, 23, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were left with serious but non-life threatening injuries in the incident.
