Three teenagers re-arrested this time on suspicion of manslaughter in Northampton skate park murder investigation

The teenage boys, one aged 14 and two aged 15, were previously charged with violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon and appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Saturday February 21 to face those charges.

Following the hearing, they were released on bail and into the care of the local authority.

Today (Tuesday March 3) Northamptonshire Police has confirmed the three boys were re-arrested on Monday March 2 on suspicion of an unlawful act of manslaughter. A spokeswoman for the force has confirmed all three have been released on bail, pending further enquiries.

A number of other arrests have been made in the murder investigation, but anyone else arrested on suspicion of murder of manslaughter has either been “eliminated from enquiries” or released on bail pending further enquiries.

The arrests relate to the fatal stabbing of 20-year-old Mason Miller at Briar Hill skate park in Ringway at around 3.30pm on Wednesday February 18. A 17-year-old boy also suffered life-threatening injuries in the same incident.

A murder investigation was launched shortly after Mason’s death. Detectives working on the case continue to appeal for witnesses or anyone with information to contact them.
