The murder trial of two Milton Keynes teenagers commenced yesterday (2/11) where the court heard that the killings were gang-related.
Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice, both aged 17, were fatally stabbed at a house party in Emerson Valley in October 2019.
Five people are currently standing trial for two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder at Luton Crown Court. These people are Clayton Barker, aged 20 of Surrey Road, Bletchley, Charlie Chandler, 22 of Fitzwilliam Street, Bletchley, and Earl Bevans, 23 of no fixed abode.
Two teenage boys who cannot be named for legal reasons, aged 16 and 17, are also standing trial.
All five defendants are denying the charges.
Another local media outlet reports that Luton Crown Court heard the killings were gang-related, with the B3 gang from West Bletchley and the M4 Gang from Westcroft being named in court.
