A sixth teenager has been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy.

Bilal Nisar was found injured at Kingsway Recreation Ground in Luton at about 18:30 BST on 24 July. He was taken to hospital and pronounced dead shortly after.

A 17 year old appeared at Luton Magistrates' Court on Friday charged with murder, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon.

Another teenager, 19-year-old Eshan Wahid, of Kirton Way, Houghton Regis, appeared at the same court charged with assisting an offender.

Both had been arrested on Wednesday and were remanded in custody to appear at Luton Crown Court on Tuesday.

A 17 year old - the fifth to be charged with murder - was remanded in custody on 30 July.

He also faces charges of violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon.

Four others, a 16 year old and three 17 year olds, were all remanded in custody earlier that week charged with murder, violent disorder and possession of a bladed article.

Det Ch Insp Nick Gardner said officers were still seeking two people believed to have been involved in the incident, and asked them, or anyone who knew their whereabouts, to contact Bedfordshire Police.
