A man has been charged with murder after an 11-year-old boy was found injured in Shipley Country Park.
Ambulance crews were called to the park, in Heanor, on the afternoon of Saturday 18 June to reports that a boy had suffered injuries.
A subsequent police investigation led to the arrest of a 41-year-old man in connection with the death last week.
Michael Harrison, of Eaton Terrace, Nottingham, has now been charged with murder and is due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on Monday 4 July.
He has also been charged with engaging in coercive and controlling behaviour.
Officers from Derbyshire Constabulary and the East Midlands major crime unit will be continuing with their inquiries and will remain in the area over next few days.
No further information into the circumstances is available at this time, but officers will be issuing further witness appeals over the coming days.
