A THIRD person has been charged with the murder of a man who was found with stab wounds behind a bail hostel.
Leanne Steanson, 24, appeared at Teesside Magistrates' Court this morning charged with murdering Mark Bradshaw.
He was discovered in an alley to the rear of Edwards Street, Stockton, shortly after 9pm on Thursday, March 26.
The 24-year-old had been staying at the hostel since September, having previously lived with his father and brother in Wheatley Hill, County Durham.
He died in James Cook University Hospital, Middlesbrough on April 2 after a week-long fight for life.
Kelvin Benson, 24, and a 17-year-old, who cannot be identified because of his age, have already been charged with murder.
Ms Steanson, of The Avenue, Chester-le-Street, spoke only to confirm her name and address this morning and was remanded in custody until Thursday, when she will appear at Teesside Crown Court.
