Man arrested over double murder at Milton Keynes house party released by cops

A man arrested yesterday over the double murder of two teenagers at a house party has been released under investigation.

The 27-year-old was arrested on Saturday afternoon on suspicion of conspiracy to murder Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice, both 17, at a house in Milton Keynes last weekend.

Dom died from a stab wound to the back, while Ben was stabbed in the chest just before midnight on 19 October.

Two other men charged over the house party deaths have appeared before High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court.

Earl Bevans, 22, was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder after Ryan Brown, 23, and a 17-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, were left with serious but non-life-threatening injuries during the incident in the Emerson Valley estate.

In court on Saturday, he said he understood the charges but did not enter a plea.

Magistrates remanded him in custody ahead of a bail hearing at Luton Crown Court on Monday.

Charlie Chandler, 21, who faces the same charges as Bevans, was also remanded in custody on Friday.

Meanwhile officers from Thames Valley Police say they will identify other suspects if they do not give themselves up.

Detective chief superintendent Ian Hunter said: ‘We are still looking for others and they know who they are. I want to appeal directly to those people. We are looking for you and we will find you, however long it takes.

‘At this stage we have not released your names or photographs, so please hand yourself in to the nearest police station as soon as possible.

‘This is not going to go away and if we have to, we will name you so there will be no place for you to hide.’
