Five men and a male youth have been charged in connection with the death of 21-year-old Dolton Powell from Gloucester.

Mr Powell was found wounded near the All Nations Club in Chase Lane, Gloucester in the early hours of Sunday, August 23.

He later died in hospital.

All of the defendants appeared at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court yesterday morning (Saturday).

The six males charged are:

• Jordan Barclay, 18 and of Campbell Street, St Pauls Bristol is charged with murder, affray, possession of an offensive weapon and GBH - section 18 wounding against another man who suffered injuries

• Nico Daley, 18 and of Dermot Street, Bristol is charged with murder and affray

• Cartel Williams, 19 and of Campbell Street, St Pauls Bristol is charged with murder and affray • Everton Spence, 19 and of Morris Road, Bristol is charged with murder and affray

• Marzel Bolton, 20 and of Tunbridge, Bristol is charged with murder and affray

• A 17-year-old youth is charged with murder and affray.

A 17-year-old boy from Bristol arrested on suspicion of murder has been released without charge while a 21-year-old man from Gloucester and a 22-year-old man from Gloucester both arrested on suspicion of murder remain on police bail until 15 September.

Detectives are stressing though that the investigation is still at an early stage and that there remain outstanding people who police want to question.

Detective Chief Inspector Steve Porter, Senior Investigating Officer, said: "While the investigation has clearly progressed I don't want people to think it's over now we've reached a first court hearing.

"We still need to speak to two people from the Bristol area about their presence at the scene and I would appeal to them, or anyone who knows where they are, to come forward immediately.

"The community response to Dolton's death and the goodwill we've seen has been incredible but I'm just asking people to keep it going now and ring us on the incident room number 01452 754454 if they have information."
