A man has appeared in court today charged with the murder of teenager Jamie Meah in Leeds after being arrested at Leeds Bradford Airport.
Ranei Wilks, 22, from Leeds, was arrested on Thursday night after arriving on a flight from Turkey. Jamie was stabbed and fatally wounded in an incident in Hall Lane, Armley, on March 31 last year. Wilks is also charged with the attempted murder of a 16-year-old boy, who was stabbed and seriously injured during the incident, and with possession of a knife. He is due to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court on Friday morning.
Aquade Jeffers, Caleb Awe, and Enham Nishat, all now aged 21, are believed to have fled abroad shortly after the incident, before they were identified as suspects.
