Man charged with murdering Cornwall rugby player outside Bodmin nightclub

A man has been charged with murdering a man outside a nightclub in Bodmin over the bank holiday weekend.

Devon and Cornwall Police were called at around 3.15am on Sunday 30 April to Victoria Square on Castle Canyke Road following reports of a serious altercation.

Michael Allen, aged 32 and from Liskeard, died at the scene after suffering a suspected stab wound. Paying tribute to him, his family described him as a "much-loved son, brother, grandson, and uncle who loved his dogs".

Seven other people were injured and were taken to hospital for treatment after the incident. Six have since been discharged and one remains in hospital following surgery.

Jake Hill, 24, of Jubilee Terrace, Bodmin, has now been charged with one count of murder, three counts of attempted murder and two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He is being held in remand and is due to appear before Truro Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 3 May.

Police have created a Major Incident Public Reporting (MIPP) page as part of the investigation. It allows members of the public who may have information to directly send large files such as Doorbell, CCTV and Dashcam footage that could assist in a police investigation.
