Warwickshire Police said the victim died at the scene

A teenager has been charged with murder after a man died in a stabbing in Rugby.

Warwickshire Police said it was called to reports of a man with suspected stab injuries in Meadow Road at 18:00 GMT on Thursday.

The 24-year-old died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed, a spokesperson for the force said.

The 17-year-old boy from the town was remanded in custody after appearing before Warwickshire magistrates.

He is next due at Warwick Crown Court on Wednesday.

It is believed an altercation may have taken place in the bridge area of Parkfield Road at 17:10, Warwickshire Police said.

Officers would like to speak to anyone who has any dashcam footage or recordings of this incident.

Police said it was also believed "some 'trick or treaters' may have seen the incident on Meadow Road", and officers were keen to speak to them as potential witnesses.

Anyone who may have found an iPhone 7 Plus in a grey case in the Parkfield Road area should also come forward.

A 16-year-old boy, also from Rugby, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion murder and has been bailed while inquiries continue.

On Sunday, detectives arrested a 21-year-old woman from Rugby on suspicion of murder. She too has been bailed.
