Two further people have been charged with offences in connection to a murder in Bodmin.

The women in their 20s have been charged with joint enterprise murder, after the death of Michael Allen in April.

Police were called shortly after 3am to the area of Victoria Square on Castle Canyke Road on 30 April 2023 - where Mr Allen, 32, was confirmed dead.

Tia Taylor, 21, of Northey Road, and Chelsea Powell, 22, of Granny’s Green, Bodmin, have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Truro Magistrates’ Court today (Tuesday 20 June.)

Jake Hill, 24, of Jubilee Terrace, was previously charged with one count of murder, three counts of attempted murder and two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He is due to stand trial at Truro Crown Court in November.

Police are urging the public "not to speculate on social media in relation to this matter due to the ongoing criminal processes."
