Detectives investigating the deaths of two teenagers at a Milton Keynes house party have arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice, both 17, were fatally stabbed by masked attackers at the private party on the Emerson Valley estate on October 19.

Three people have so far been charged with their murders – a 16-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, Earl Bevans, 22, of no fixed address, and Charlie Chandler, 21, of Fitzwilliam Street, Bletchley.

Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice both died after being stabbed at this house in Milton Keynes on October 19

They are all also accused of two counts of attempted murder after Ryan Brown, 23, and a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were also knifed in the attack, and left with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

A 15-year-old boy has also been charged in connection with the attack.
