Kieran Williams’ body was discovered on June 2 after extensive searches following his disappearance on April 18.
As part of the investigation, two men, both 19 years old, were arrested and charged with murder. They are scheduled to appear before South Tyneside magistrates on June 6.
Two men, aged 20 and 28, and one woman, aged 46, arrested in connection with the investigation are still being held on police bail pending further investigation.
We want to take this opportunity to thank the team of officers and staff who have been working tirelessly on this case, as well as everyone who has come forward with information to assist our investigations,” Northumbria Police said in a statement.
We would like to ask the public to refrain from any speculation – both on social media and in the wider community – that could jeopardise the legal proceedings now that charges have been filed against these two suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to contact us via our website’s ‘Tell Us Something’ page or call 101, quoting reference 26 20/04/22.”
