A man has been charged with the murder of a 32-year-old man in an incident near a nightclub in Cornwall where several people sustained stab injuries, police said. Michael Allen died of stab wounds after a serious altercation close to the Eclipse nightclub in Bodmin in the early hours of Sunday, to which the police were called. Seven other men and women also sustained wounds and were taken to hospital. Six have since been discharged. Jake Hill, 24, from Bodmin, has been charged with one count of murder, three counts of attempted murder and two counts of section 18 causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Hill will appear at Truro magistrates court on Wednesday, Devon and Cornwall police said. Allen’s family released a statement after the attack, calling him a “much-loved son, brother, grandson, and uncle who loved his dogs”. Bodmin Rugby Club also paid tribute, saying he had joined earlier this season “and quickly became a big part of our squad”. “His humour and kindness has left a mark on us all and we will miss him dearly,” the club added.
