Two 15-year-old boys have been charged with the murder of a teenager stabbed to death in Bristol.

Darrian Williams, 16, was attacked at about 18:00 GMT in Rawnsley Park, Easton, on Wednesday.

Darrian ran to Stapleton Road, where a motorist assisted him, before he collapsed and died in West Street, Old Market.

The two 15-year-olds remain in police custody and will appear at Bristol Youth Court on Monday, police said.
