Two men have been charged with manslaughter after a teenager was shot dead in the car park of a Gwynedd pub.

Peter Colwell, 18, died after the incident at the Ship Inn, Llanbedrog, on 5 February.

Four defendants previously denied firearms charges.

Prosecutors have reviewed the case and have now charged Ben Fitzsimmons, 22, of Pwllheli and Ben Wilson, 28, of Ely, Cambridgeshire, with manslaughter.
