Man charged as police renew appeal following Derby stabbing
He's been remanded in prison
Detectives investigating the death of Corey Duffy in Derby have now charged a man with murder.
Brandon Froggatt of Ashley Street in Derby appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court earlier today (Friday 23 June).
The 20-year-old was remanded into prison custody while awaiting a trial.
Corey is thought to have been fatally stabbed in Cooper Street, before he ran on to Bass Street where emergency services were called on the afternoon of Sunday 11 June.
Despite their best-efforts paramedics were unable to save the 30-year-old’s life.
A total of eight people have been arrested in connection with Corey’s death, they are currently on police bail and investigations are ongoing.
Detective Inspector Maria Pleace, who is leading the investigation into Corey’s death, said: “Our thoughts continue to remain with Corey’s family, and we would again like to thank them for their support throughout the investigation so far.
“We understand that people may still feel concerned due to the nature of the incident, but at this time we still believe that this was an isolated incident, and there is no threat to the wider public.”
Det. Insp. Pleace added, “I would like to thank the community for their cooperation and support, and I would again appeal for anyone who hasn’t yet come forward but feels they might have a vital piece of information which could help with our enquiries to contact us, in confidence, at any time and through any of the below means.”
