Gosport murder investigation: Two more men held over death

Police were called to Keyes Road in Bridgemary

Two more people have been arrested in connection with the death of a man in Gosport, bringing the total number of arrests to seven.

Police were called to Keyes Road at about 02:30 GMT on Friday after reports a man had been assaulted.

He later died from his injuries.

Hampshire Constabulary said a 22-year-old man from Fareham had been arrested on suspicion of murder and a 35-year-old man from Fareham was being held on suspicion of assisting an offender.

On Saturday, police said two men aged 18 and 24, and a 35-year-old woman, had been arrested on suspicion of murdering the 22-year-old.

They remain in custody.

A 19-year-old man, who has since released on bail, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Friday.

Witness appeal

A 67-year-old man from Salisbury also remains in custody after being arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

A red Vauxhall Corsa, which was involved in a crash at the scene in the Bridgemary area, was being linked to the investigation, police said.

Senior investigating officer Det Ch Insp Matt Gillooly said: "Were you in the area at the time of the incident? Did you witness what happened or see anything you think could be linked?

"We'd also ask anyone who may have dashcam or doorbell footage that could help us to contact us as soon as possible.

"If you saw the red Vauxhall Corsa in the Fareham and Gosport area, we also want to hear from you."
