Mr Whyteside, aged 42, of Chesterfield Road, Dawley, died after being assaulted in Withywood Drive, Malinslee, last month.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder and previously appeared at Stafford Crown Court where he was remanded in custody.

Yesterday, two men were charged with affray.

They are William Owens, 41, of Boulton Grange, Randlay and Gareth Edward Owens, 39, also of Boulton Grange in Randlay.

They will next appear at Telford Magistrates Court on August 14.

Earlier this month detectives investigating the murder said no action would be taken against a woman and two youths who were arrested following Mr Whyteside's death.
