Three more teenagers have been charged with murder after a 16-year-old died in a stabbing in Gloucester - bringing the total number of people charged to nine.

Ramarni, 16, died of stab wounds after an incident on Stratton Road, Barton, in December last year.

The popular 16-year-old was described as a "happy boy" with a "heart of gold" by his family and hundreds of people attended his funeral in the city last week.

Providing an update on the murder investigation today (February 10), Gloucestershire Police confirmed it has now charged two boys - aged 15 and 16 - with murder.

They are both due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court later today (February 10).
