Six more people have been charged with violent disorder in Southampton after riots broke out following the sentencing of a man for the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak.
It brings the total number of people charged after disorder in the city to 11. Kevin Reeves, 31, of Portswood Road, Southampton; Andrew Riddett, 38, of Seacombe Green, Southampton; Harry Varney, 34, of Briarswood, Southampton; Taylor Grundy, 22, of Pavillion Way, Gosport; and Dillon Crawford, 29, of Wilton Avenue, Southampton, were charged with violent disorder, Hampshire constabulary said.
Andrew Summerhayes, 38, of Banning Street, Romsey, was charged with violent disorder and two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, the force added. All of them were due to appear at Southampton magistrates court on Saturday morning.
The charges come after protests following the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa, 23, to life imprisonment with a minimum of 21 years for the murder of Nowak in December.

The evening had begun relatively peacefully outside Southampton’s central police station but disorder allegedly began when hundreds of people marched across the city to the neighbourhood where Digwa lived and Nowak died.
By Wednesday morning, car windows had been smashed and bricks were strewn across roads.
The chief constable for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Alexis Boon, said on Wednesday that 11 officers and a police dog had been injured while doing their job “to protect the communities that we serve”.
