Family pay tribute to teenager who died in Harrogate

The family of a 17-year-old boy who died following an incident in Claro Road, Harrogate have paid tribute to him.

Seb Mitchell died in hospital on February 21st following an incident two days earlier.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the incident and is due to appear in court again in the near future.

The police also issued an important message, they said:

"We are aware of social media posts naming the boy who has been charged and also speculating on the circumstances of Seb’s death. It is really important that nobody does this.

"This is because once someone has been charged with an offence, it is illegal to publish anything that could influence a jury and affect a person’s right to a fair trial. This includes claiming to know what happened or speculating about the circumstances of his death. Publishing includes uploading posts and comments to social media."
