FOUR men have been charged after the shotgun death of an 18-year-old.

On 5 February, Peter Robert Colwell died in the early hours of the morning in the car park of the Ship Inn, Llanbedrog, following a single gunshot wound to the head.

Four local men have now been charged with firearms offences and will appear before local magistrates on 31 August.

Mr Colwell was from Capel Uchaf, near Clynnog Fawr.

Senior Investigating Officer Det Insp Gerwyn Thomas North Wales Police said: “Following a comprehensive investigation and regular consultation with The Crown Prosecution Service four local men, aged in their early 20s and known to Peter Colwell, have been charged with firearms offences.

“Peter’s family, who continue to be supported by Police Family Liaison Officers, have been informed of this latest development.

“Our thoughts remain with them. As the matter is now before the court it would be inappropriate to add anything further at this time.”
