Dale Williams charging statement

24/08/2011

The Crown Prosecution Service has this afternoon (24th August) authorised the Metropolitan Police Service to charge Dale Williams, 19, with the murder of Kelvin Chibueze. Mr Chibueze was fatally stabbed during a violent clash that occurred between two rival groups at a private party at The Arteflex Club in Ilford in the early hours of Monday 15th August 2011.

The 19 year old (12/11/1991) is also charged with violent disorder.

Gary Dolby, from CPS London Homicide Unit, said:

"The CPS has this afternoon authorised that Dale Williams should be charged with the murder of Kelvin Chibueze.

"At this stage, there is a reasonable suspicion that the 19 year old was responsible for the unlawful killing of Mr Chibueze. It is clearly in the public interest that he be prosecuted for this offence.

"As with all prosecutions, we will keep the case against the defendant under review and consider any new evidence provided to us by the police during their ongoing investigation into this incident."

Dale Williams will appear at Redbridge Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning, Thursday 25 August 2011.
