Two young brothers were today charged with attempted murder after a nine-year-old boy and his 11-year-old uncle were attacked and injured, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Two brothers being questioned in connection with an attack on two young boys had recently been placed in foster care, a council confirmed today.

British police were today granted more time to interview two boys over a savage attack which left one boy battling life-threatening injuries and another seriously wounded.

Two children aged 10 and 11 were in custody in the UK today after a boy was left with life-threatening head injuries and another was slashed with a knife.
