A man has been charged with murder after a teenager was stabbed to death in Sheffield.

Frank Kiongaze, 22, of Gleadless, Sheffield, was charged on Saturday over the death of 19-year-old Ryan Jowle, South Yorkshire police said.

Kiongaze was also charged with possession of a bladed article, the force said.

Jowle died in Sheffield’s Northern General hospital in the early hours of Wednesday after being stabbed in the Woodhouse area at about 11.10pm on Tuesday night, officers said.

Police said a postmortem examination found he died of a stab wound to his chest.

Kiongaze will appear at Sheffield magistrates court on Monday, police said.

Jowle was the first victim of two fatal stabbings in the city in a week.

Police were given special stop-and-search powers to tackle knife crime after the second victim, a 15-year-old boy, was killed on Thursday evening.

Detectives have appealed for witnesses to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
