A second man has been charged with murder after an 18-year-old was fatally stabbed in Milton Keynes.

Thames Valley Police said it had charged Ja'siah Highton, 26, of Burholme in the city, with his murder.

The defendant is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court on Saturday.

Salim Moludi, 19, of Colne, Tinkers Bridge, was also charged with Kapaga-Fakeer's murder on Thursday.

Searches of an address in Melbourne Street, Gloucester, have formed part of the early police inquiries.

A 31-year-old woman from Milton Keynes, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remains on bail.

Kapaga-Fakeer has been described by police as "a precious son, beloved brother to his two sisters and a friend who is loved by many".
