Three in court over man's murder

12 April 2012

Three people are to appear in court charged with murdering a father of two who was found seriously hurt in a street.

The men - aged 18, 19 and 20 - are alleged to have attacked Daron Hargreaves, who was found with severe head injuries in Chell Green Avenue, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, on Friday morning.

He was taken to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, but died shortly afterwards.

The three men will appear at the town's magistrates court at 9.30am.

Ten men, aged between 16 and 22, and a 20-year-old woman were originally questioned about the murder.

The remaining eight have been released on bail pending further inquiries, a spokesman for Staffordshire Police said.

Mr Hargreaves lived with his fiancee and two sons, aged three and five, in the Pittshill area of the city.
