College student Bradley, 16, died at the scene after being attacked with what is thought to have been a piece of broken glass near his home in Leicester.

A post-mortem examination conducted at the city's Royal Infirmary established that he died as a result of a puncture wound to his neck.

Leicestershire Police said that four people - the two teenagers, a 31-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man - have been charged with murder and will appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Bradley is thought to have been celebrating the New Year when he was attacked shortly after leaving a party at about 5.15am.

In a statement released on behalf of his family, his father Anthony Whitfield said: "Bradley was a loving son, brother, grandson and nephew. Everyone that knew him said what a lovely young lad he was.

"Bradley had such a bright future ahead of him and we cannot begin to believe what has happened. We feel that we have been left with such a hole in our hearts."
