36 year old Zoe Treadwell from Bournemouth has been charged with murder. She's due to appear at Poole Magistrates court today. Two 17 year old boys - arrested on suspicion of murder - remain on police bail. A 39 year old man - arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice - has been released under investigation.
Detective Inspector Mark Jenkins, of Dorset's Major Crime Investigation Team, said: 'Our thoughts are very much with the family and loved ones of Joey Johnstone and we are continuing to keep them updated with the latest developments in our investigation.
'This matter will now be the subject of court proceedings, and we would urge members of the public to refrain from speculation or commentary relating to this case, including online or on social media, as it is vital that the justice process is allowed to follow its course without prejudice.
