Lee Bradshaw, 21, of Vale Drive in Thornaby, is due to appear at Teesside Magistrates’ Court later today (Monday, January 5) charged with murder.

It follows the death of Aiden Matthews, from Stockton, who was left with a serious head injury following an incident in the area of Norton High Street on New Year’s Eve.

The 31-year-old man was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees in Stockton but tragically died the following day.

Two other people have also been charged with murder.

Max John Cashman, 29, of Elm Tree Avenue, Stockton and Declan Moor, 20, of Centenary Crescent, Norton, appeared at Teesside Magistrates’ Court on Saturday and were remanded in custody. They will return to the same court today.

A woman, aged 35, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and was bailed pending further enquiries.
