Owen Dunn died in Swindon on Sunday

A 14-year-old boy has been charged with murdering a teenager in Swindon.

The child - who cannot be named for legal reasons - is accused of stabbing Owen Dunn, 18, at around 14:30 GMT in Mazurek Way on Sunday.

The boy was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a private place as well as possession of Class A and B drugs.

He appeared at Swindon Youth Court and was remanded to appear at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday.

The youth, dressed in a grey prison tracksuit, spoke only to give his name and date of birth.

A 20-year-old man who was arrested alongside the boy has since been released under investigation.
