Kyeron Wheeler died in hospital after being found a suspected stab wound
A man from Buckinghamshire is among three people who have been charged with murder after the death of an 18-year-old in Poole in Dorset.
Police received a report at around 2:13am on Friday (19 June) that a man had been found with injuries on Longfleet Road.
The victim - who has now been named as 18-year old Kyeron Wheeler - was taken to hospital for treatment to a suspected stab wound.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police say it is believed the victim sustained injuries during an incident in Dale Close and was then taken to Longfleet Road in a car.
Following an investigation by Dorset police's major crime team three men have now been charged with murder.
The three men charged are:
- Dluwadamilare Aremu, aged 22 and of Bletchley in Buckinghamshire
- Trevor Gonzo, aged 22 and of London
- Callum Roberts, aged 20 and of Blandford
The three men have also been charged with possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place, acquiring/using/possessing criminal property and two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A.
Roberts has also been charged with an additional count of possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place.
All three are due to appear at Southampton Magistrates' Court tomorrow (23 June).
Detective Superintendent Neil Third, of MCIT, said: “This has been a complex and fast-moving investigation as we have worked diligently to piece together the circumstances surrounding this incident.
“Our thoughts remain very much with the family and loved ones of Kyeron Wheeler and we have continued to keep the family updated with developments in the investigation.
“After extensive enquiries, we have consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service and it has authorised charges of murder against three suspects.
“This matter will now be the subject of active court proceedings and it is vital that the criminal justice process is allowed to follow its course without prejudice. It would therefore be inappropriate for us to comment any further on the circumstances surrounding this incident at this time and we would urge members of the public to refrain from speculation and sharing of information online or on social media.
“Our officers will continue to provide an increased policing presence in areas impacted by this incident as we fully recognise the impact on the local community. These officers can be approached by anyone with questions or concerns.”
