A man has been charged with murder following a stabbing in Bedford in the early hours of Tuesday morning (5 November).
Emergency services were called shortly before 3am to an address in Brereton Road to a report of a stabbing.
The victim, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he died on Wednesday.
Tyreese Kamau, 25, of Rutland Road, Bedford, was arrested in connection with the incident and has today (Friday) been charged with murder.
Detective Inspector Adam Bridges, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the man who tragically lost his life in this incident.
“We recognise that such events are deeply concerning for the community, and we want to reassure local residents that officers will remain in place at the scene in the coming days as we continue our enquiries.
“We also encourage anyone who believes they may have information that could aid our investigation to come forward and speak to us.”
Kamau has been remanded into custody ahead of an appearance at Luton Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Saturday).
