Three people, including two boys aged 14 and 16, have been charged following the death of a man who was stabbed in Newcastle upon Tyne. The attack occurred on Shields Road, Byker, on Tuesday evening (June 16). Gino Robb, 25, was rushed to hospital after sustaining stab wounds, but was pronounced dead later that night.

In the wake of the fatal knife attack, several arrests were made as a murder investigation was launched. Two men aged 22 and 24, along with a 16-year-old boy, were initially detained on suspicion of murder before being released on bail while enquiries continue.

Two further men, aged 40 and 33, and another 16-year-old boy were subsequently arrested in the Walker area of the city on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. The 40-year-old was later released on police bail pending further enquiries.

A 14-year-old boy was subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder. Jed Grieve, 33, of Orpington Avenue, Walker, along with two boys aged 14 and 16, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, have since been charged with murder.

All three have been remanded in custody and are due to appear before Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Monday, June 22.

Detective Chief Inspector Atherton, of Northumbria Police's Major Investigation Team, said: "Our thoughts are firmly with Gino's family and loved ones after the tragic events of Tuesday evening.

"We continue to provide them with all possible support and request that their privacy is respected at this difficult time."

He further stated that the inquiry into the incident "remains very much ongoing", with additional investigations being conducted across the Byker and Walker areas.

Det Ch Insp Atherton has appealed for anybody with knowledge of the stabbing to come forward and speak to officers.

He said: "As part of our investigation, we are continuing to ask for information from anyone who saw two people on an electric motorbike which we believe entered Shields Road from the area of Grace Street in the minutes leading up to the incident, before then heading back along Shields Road and back into the area of Grace Street.

"We would also like to hear from those with CCTV, dashcam footage or mobile phone footage of these areas at around that time.

"Thank you to those who have contacted us so far and if you do have information or footage which could assist us, please get in touch so that we can provide Gino's family with the answers they deserve."
