A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murdering Lewis Butler who was fatally stabbed in Milton Keynes on Monday, January 17, 2022.
The local boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murdering 44-year-old Mr Butler and causing grievous bodily harm with intent to another man, who is in his 40s.
