Boy, 15, charged with murder after alley death

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder following the death of a man in an alleyway near a pub in Surrey.

Police were called to the scene near the Wheatsheaf pub, on Kingston Road, Ewell, at about 15:30 GMT on Tuesday where, they said, the victim, a man in his 20s, was found with "injuries consistent with a stabbing". He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested on Thursday and is due to appear at Guildford Magistrates Court on Monday.

A second 15-year-old boy, a 17-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man also arrested have since been released on police bail.
