Six more people have been charged with violent disorder after protests took place in Southampton on Tuesday following the murder of Henry Nowak. It brings the total number of people charged after the demonstration in the port 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 Police said on Saturday. 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 will appear at Southampton Magistrates’ Court on Saturday morning.

The charges come after protests following the sentencing on Monday of Vickrum Digwa, 23, to life imprisonment to serve a minimum of 21 years for the murder of 18-year-old Mr Nowak in December.

The protests took place after police body-worn video was released showing Mr Nowak being placed in handcuffs after he had been stabbed by Digwa moments before he became unconscious and subsequently died.

Digwa claimed he had been the victim of a racial attack, while Mr Nowak was handcuffed by police who ignored his pleas that he could not breathe as he lay dying.

The treatment of the 18-year-old triggered a political row, with the Prime Minister urging politicians to heed the teenager’s relatives’ calls not to use the case “to cause disturbances”.
