Dylan Bragger: Man charged with murder over stabbing of teen

Dylan Bragger was working towards being a mechanic, his family said

A man has been charged with the murder of a 15-year-old boy who was found stabbed.

Dylan Bragger was pronounced dead after officers were called to Digmoor Road, in Skelmersdale, Lancashire at about 21:00 BST on Thursday.

His family said the teenager was a "gentle giant" with a "heart of gold".

Felipe Figueiredo, 28, of Birleywood, Skelmersdale, appeared before Preston magistrates earlier and is due at the city's crown court on Tuesday.

In a statement, Dylan's family said he was "loved by so many" and they had "no words to explain how we are feeling at this heartbreaking time".

"Dylan had such an infectious smile that would light up any room and he could cheer anyone up with one of his big bear hugs," they said.

"Our boy didn't deserve any of this.

"He was just a 15-year-old lad working towards being a car mechanic with his whole life ahead of him.

"We've got a hole in our heart that will never heal and no amount of words will ever take our pain away."
