The man who died following an outbreak of violence in Bristol has been named as 32-year-old Aranit Lleshi.

Two more men are due to appear in the city's magistrates court on Wednesday after Mr Lleshi was fatally stabbed and six others injured in the Brislington area on 24 May.

Radian Lika, 35, and Nikola Palaj, 28, both from London, have been charged with violent disorder.

Four men appeared at the court on Saturday for the same offence.

Mr Lleshi, from London, died while en-route to hospital following the violence, and a forensic post-mortem confirmed he died from multiple stab wounds.

Police said his family are being supported by family liaison officers and the investigation into his death is ongoing.
