DETECTIVES investigating the death of a teenage schoolboy have charged a 17-year-old with his manslaughter.

Daniel Crowther, who was also 17, died after he was assaulted in College Square, Stokesley, in the early hours of Saturday.

Four people were arrested in the wake of Daniel's death - two 17-year-old from Guisborough and a 25-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman from Middlesbrough.

This afternoon one of the Guisborough teens was charged with manslaughter. He will appear before Harrogate magistrates tomorrow morning.

The other three were all released on conditional bail as inquiries into the death continue.
