Two more men charged following death of Leigh Park man George Allison
FOUR more people have been arrested and two have been charged in connection with a murder investigation in Leigh Park.
George Allison, 21, was stabbed to death in Tichborne Grove on Saturday, May 23.
At the same time, police found a 27-year-old woman from Southsea in the same property, who had also been stabbed. She suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital.
Mr Allison was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kevin Joseph Batchelor, 25 from East Hill, Camborne in Cornwall, has already been charged with murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Now, a further four arrests have been made, and two men have been charged.
A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘A 33-year-old woman from Havant and a 32-year-old woman from Waterlooville were both arrested this week on suspicion of assisting an offender.
‘The 33-year-old has been bailed until August 25, and the 32-year-old has been released from custody but remains under investigation.’
Barry Baker, 38, from Oracle Drive in Waterlooville and Lewis Turner, 32, from Waders Walk, Hayling Island, were also arrested and have been charged with assisting an offender.
The pair have been bailed and are due to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, August 27.
Batchelor is due to go on trial at Winchester Crown Court in November.
Paying tribute to George on social media, family members have described the father-of-two as someone who had the ‘biggest heart' and will be missed by everyone.
