Mikey Roynon: Two teens charged with murder over Bath party stabbing

Mikey Roynon, 16, from Bristol, was attacked at a party in Bath

Two teenagers charged with murdering a 16-year-old boy who was attacked at a house party have appeared in court.

Mikey Roynon, from Bristol, died from a single knife wound at a party in Eastfield Avenue, Bath, on Saturday.

A 15-year-old boy, from Dorset, and a 16-year-old boy, from Wiltshire, have been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article.

The teenagers, who cannot be named due to their age, will next appear at Bristol Crown Court on Friday.

The youths appeared separately before Bristol Youth Court earlier. Neither entered pleas to the charges against them.

District Judge Lynne Matthews, who remanded the boys into youth detention, said: "I can't let you go home, I have no choice about that."

Eleven people were arrested in connection with the killing, with nine released without charge.

Det Insp Mark Newbury, the senior investigating officer, said Mikey's family had been informed of the charges and were being supported by a specialist family liaison officer.

A police cordon at the scene has now been reduced but officers are likely to remain at the property for the next few days, he added.
