Police have charged a fourth person over the death of schoolboy Kadeem Blackwood.

Officers investigating the 15-year-old's murder in a park in Derby last week said they had charged a 23-year-old man with assisting an offender.

Two teenagers, Michael Hamblett-Sewell, 19, and Callum Campbell, 18, both of Derby, have appeared in court and been remanded in custody charged with Kadeem's murder.

A 48-year-old woman has also been charged with assisting an offender. She has been bailed to appear at court later this month.

A 20-year-old man has been bailed pending further inquiries.

Kadeem was shot in the chest last week while walking with friends in Caxton Street recreation ground on Tuesday, November 11.

A post-mortem examination confirmed he died from a single gunshot blast.

An inquest is due to be opened at Derby Coroner's Court.
