Dear Resident

Two Northampton men have tonight (Monday, July 22) been charged with the murder of Tommy Boom.

Tommy, aged 30, died shortly after midnight on Thursday, July 18, after he was stabbed in Millers Meadow, known locally as Semilong Park.

Daniel Larman, aged 21, and Kieran Okocha-Sleight, also aged 21, both of Woodside Way, are charged with Tommy’s murder. Larman is also charged with one count of possession of a bladed article.

Both are due before Northampton Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, Tuesday, July 23.

A 21-year-old Birmingham man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice has been released on bail as enquiries continue.

Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell said: “I would once again like to thank the local community for their support in getting our investigation to this point. This sentiment is echoed by Tommy’s family who are taking comfort in people’s willingness to help, and our thoughts remain with them in their grief.
