Man charged with murder of Blake Newland

A 53-year-old man has been charged with the murder of 17-year-old Blake Newland in Limavady.

The teenager was stabbed a number of times during an incident at Woodland Walk in the Co Londonderry town on Friday February 2.

Detectives from the PSNI Major Investigation Team charged the 53-year-old man on Thursday night after a funeral was held for Blake at his grandmother’s house in Limavady.

The man is expected to appear at Coleraine Magistrates’ Court on Friday.

As is usual procedure, the charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.

Two brothers appeared in court earlier in the week also charged with the teenager’s murder.
