A woman's been charged with murder after a crash where a motorcyclist was allegedly struck by a car in Bournemouth last month.

The collision was between a motorbike and Range Rover that reportedly didn't stop in Moore Avenue on the 9th of April.

28-year-old Joey Johnstone died at the scene of the crash.

Initially two 17 year old boys and a 36 year old woman were arrested on suspicion of murder.

The 36-year-old, Zoe Treadwell, has been charged with murder and is due in court today.

The two 17-year-old boys remain on bail but investigations are still continuing.

Detective Inspector Mark Jenkins, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts are very much with the family and loved ones of Joey Johnstone and we are continuing to keep them updated with the latest developments in our investigation.

“This matter will now be the subject of court proceedings, and we would urge members of the public to refrain from speculation or commentary relating to this case, including online or on social media, as it is vital that the justice process is allowed to follow its course without prejudice.

“Local officers continue to carry out regular reassurance patrols in the area and can be approached by members of the public with any information or concerns.”
