A number of people have subsequently been arrested as part of an ongoing murder investigation.

Thai Johnson, also 19 and of Renfrew Street, Derby, and Zak Stevens, 26, of Crewton Way, Alvaston, have been charged with assisting an offender.

A 23-year-old man who was arrested in Belper on Thursday evening on suspicion of murder remains in custody for questioning. A 21-year-old man arrested at the same time on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released under investigation.
