A 14-year-old girl from Crawley, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murdering a man in the town on Tuesday (27) evening.
As previously reported by More Radio, a 24-year-old man lost his life after being found with serious injuries in Russell Way.
The victim, who police have named as Nimroy Hendricks (above), died after being found with stab wounds to the chest.
The girl, who is also charged with possessing a knife in a public place, is expected to appear before magistrates in Crawley on Friday afternoon (October 30).
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team said:
“The circumstances of this case are particularly challenging for everyone involved and will continue to be difficult as people come to terms with significant loss and grief.
"It is imperative that the Criminal Justice system is allowed to operate effectively in order to support all involved in this case and therefore, I would make a personal plea to people to not speculate on social media on the circumstances of the case or the identity or motivation of the defendant, whose name may not legally be published."
