In connection with a fatal stabbing in Bodmin, Cornwall, a man has been accused of murder.
During a “serious altercation” that occurred early on Sunday in Victoria Square, Castle Canyke Road, Michael Allen, 32, died and seven other people were stabbed.
Since then, six more victims have been released from the hospital.
One count of murder, three counts of attempted murder, and two counts of Section 18 causing great bodily injury with intent have been brought against Jake Hill, 24, of Jubilee Terrace, Bodmin.
He will appear before Truro Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, Devon and Cornwall Police said.
Mr Allen’s family released a statement following the incident calling him a ‘much-loved son, brother, grandson, and uncle who loved his dogs’.
