A fourth man has now been charged with the alleged murder of a 22-year-old man following a disturbance in Ilkeston.

Police were called to reports that a man was found injured in Eyre’s Garden, Ilkeston, at around 12.40pm on Sunday 4 July.

The man, Byron Griffin, from East Leake, Loughborough, was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre where he died.

Three men, Dylan Geary, 21; Daniel Lewsley, 32, and Grant James Masterson, 29, all of Ilkeston were previously charged with the alleged murder of Mr Griffin and now Jordan Fairbrother, 26, of Swadlincote, who was arrested on Saturday, has been charged with the same offence.
