A man has been charged following the death of another man in Stevenage.
Patrick Sharp, aged 18, from Cuttys Lane in Stevenage, was charged with murder, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of Class A drugs.
He has been remanded into custody to appear before St Albans Magistrates’ Court today (30/5).
Police were called at around 11.20pm on Friday (27/5), following an incident in Cuttys Lane, during which 18 year old Kajetan Migdal sustained life threatening injuries. Despite best efforts to save him, he sadly passed away in hospital during the early hours of yesterday.
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with Kajetan’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time. Specialist officers are continuing to provide support to his family and we once again ask that their privacy is respected.
“Our enquiries have continued over the weekend and, following a fast time arrest, we have now secured a charge. However, we are still appealing for any witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to police to please come forward. If you have any information at all, please contact us.”
Detective Superintendent Michael Trotman said: “I understand that news of this incident will have come as a huge shock to the community and our thoughts are with all those who have been affected. If you have any concerns at all, please do not hesitate to contact your local police Safer Neighbourhood Team.
“A charge has now been secured and it’s vital that the case is allowed to proceed through the courts unimpeded.”
