Boy, 14, charged with murder of teenager in Gateshead

The Guardian says A 14-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a boy of the same age in a knife attack in Gateshead.

Tomasz Oleszak, a “kind and caring” teenager who came to Britain from Poland aged six, died from a stab wound after an altercation on Monday evening.

The Crown Prosecution Service said on Friday it had authorised police to charge a 14-year-old boy with murder, attempted wounding with intent, and having a bladed article in a public place.

The teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, will appear at Newcastle magistrates court later on Friday.
