Teen suspect named and charged with murder of Billy McNicholl in Ipswich
An 18-year-old man, formerly of Ipswich, has been named and charged with murdering William "Billly" McNicholl, who was found dead at his Hawthorn Drive home on New Year's Day.
The details: Jake McMillan, most recently of Banbury Road, Hackney in London but formerly of Ipswich, has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court today.
He has also been charged with being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
Officers discovered McNicholl's body at the Hawthorn Drive address shortly before 18:00 on 1 January. A Home Office post-mortem examination determined the cause of death was head injuries and a stab wound to the right shoulder.
