Teenager charged with murder in Brighton
The 19 year old also faces a charge of attempted murder
A 19-year-old man has been charged with murder and attempted murder after three people were attacked at an address in Brighton.
Sussex Police say emergency services responded to reports of a disturbance in Hartfield Avenue on Tuesday (1 April), where they found two victims—a woman and a boy—outside the property with injuries.
Both were treated at the scene, before being taken to hospital for further treatment. They have both since been discharged.
A third victim, 57-year-old Emad Samir Botros Farag, was found inside the property with a significant head injury, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers arrested 19 year old Fabio Botros, of Hartfield Avenue, near to the address and he was taken to custody.
He has been remanded in police custody to appear before Brighton Magistrates' Court on Thursday (3 April).
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cullimore said,
“This was a shocking and tragic incident, and our thoughts are with those affected and their loved ones.
"Through our initial enquiries, it has been established that the victims and defendant are known to one another, and that the weapons involved are believed to be two knives and a hammer.
"We recognise the impact this incident has also had on the local community, and we want to reassure members of the public that charges have now been secured and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this investigation.
"Our officers remain in the area conducting enquiries, and we are grateful for the support and patience of the public."
