Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 15:00 · 1 min read

Zack Coughlan, 23, has been charged with the murder of his housemate Jamie Collins, 21, following a fatal stabbing at a shared property in Filton, Bristol (a northern suburb of the city) in the early hours of 9 April. Collins, a robotics student at the University of the West of England (UWE), was found dead in the rear garden with multiple stab wounds; Coughlan, also a UWE student, appeared before Bristol magistrates court on Tuesday. The case has prompted high-visibility police patrols in the area and prompted UWE to put support in place for students affected by the killing.
