Post by Mike Sales »

A cyclist who died in a suspected hit-and-run in Grimsby has been named by Humberside Police.

Reece Braithwaite, 35, was struck by a grey Vauxhall Crossland 4x4 in Carnforth Crescent at 17:20 BST on Sunday and died on Wednesday.

Liam Boydell, 22, of Boulevard Avenue, and Thomas McGloughlin, 19, of Rutland Street, have been charged with murder.

They were remanded into custody and will appear at Grimsby Magistrates' Court on Saturday, police said.

A 20-year-old man who was also arrested has now been released under investigation while officers continue to make enquiries.

The victim was known to the accused, it is reported.
Police said the men and victim knew each other.

Det Ch Insp Alan Curtis, of Humberside Police, said he understood what had happened would "cause shock and concern to the local community".

"But I would like to reassure the public that this is an isolated incident between individuals known to each other," he added.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?
