Officers investigating the murder of 21-year-old George Allison and the serious assault of a 27-year-old woman in Leigh Park have made four further arrests this week and charged two people.

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 25 August, and the 32-year-old has been released from custody but remains under investigation.

In addition, the following two men were arrested and subsequently charged with assisting an offender:

They have both been bailed to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on 27 August.
