Two men have been charged over the murder of a 19-year-old man who died after a street fight.

Liam Derrett was injured in Market Place in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, in the early hours of Sunday 1 June.

He suffered serious head injuries and died in hospital on Tuesday.

Kai Donachie, 23, of Bilborough Road, Nottingham, and Joshua Harris, 24, of Little Hallam Lane, Ilkeston, have been charged with his murder and are due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court later.

Three other people – two women aged 18 and 19, and a 19-year-old man – were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. All three remain on bail pending further inquiries.

Detectives have reissued an appeal and urged anyone with any information to get in touch.
