A 20-year-old from Corby has been charged with attempted murder.
Matas Sukaitis appeared before magistrates this morning (Saturday, May 17).
He is charged with the attempted murder of a 17-year-old boy, who we are not naming because of his age, on a path in Hazel Wood, off Westcott Way on April 11.
Sukaitis, of Chaucer Close, Corby, was also charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and possession of a bladed article in relation to the incident.
Sukaitis appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court this morning (May 17) and was remanded into custody.
The boy received serious but not life-threatening injuries during the incident, which shocked the town.
