Nine people arrested in total as murder investigation continues

We have now arrested a total of nine people in connection with the death of 19-year-old Bradley Whieldon in Stoke-on-Trent.

A 19-year-old man, from Stoke-on-Trent, remains in custody this morning (Monday 19 October) after he was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

An 18-year-old woman, from Stoke-on-Trent, also remains in custody after being arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

It now brings the total number of arrests to nine. One of those previously arrested, a 17-year-old boy of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged and remanded ahead of his next appearance at Stafford Crown Court on 23 November.

All of the other people arrested have been bailed with conditions at this time.

We’ve been investigating since the incident took place on Friday 9 October. Officers were called to a property on Brookhouse Road, Meir, at around 11.45pm.

Tragically, Bradley was pronounced dead the scene.

Another man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he remains in a stable condition.
