John McDonald, 51, of Bloxwich, Johnny McDonald, 22, of Dudley and Brett Delaney, 34, of Darlaston, Walsall, were charged and were due to appear at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre later.

Two men from Coseley, near Dudley, aged 36 and 26, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, along with a third, a 34-year-old from Wednesbury, who was detained on suspicion of manslaughter.

The other two who remained in custody were a 51-year-old man from Bloxwich, who was being held on suspicion of murder, and a 22-year-old man from Dudley held on suspicion of manslaughter and assisting an offender.

That's evident in Enfield, where BBC News visited on Friday and found Amanda Dudley gazing at the remains of the oak, its former parts scattered around a blunted stump and cordoned off with red and white tape.
