HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY have announced they have officially ‘charged’ another three individuals as part of their continuing ‘Operation Talus’ investigations; bringing the total figure to seven people since twenty-two year old Levi Kent sadly died after being seriously assaulted in the Keyes Road area of Bridgemary early on the morning of November 24.
