THREE more people have been charged with violent disorder after protests in Southampton this week following the murder of Henry Nowak, bringing the total charged to 14.

Darren Medhurst, 36, Jordan Hambleton, 19, and Callum Darch, 27, will appear at Southampton magistrates’ court today, Hampshire Police said.

The protests followed the sentencing of Vickrum Digwa, 23, to life with a minimum of 21 years for the murder of 18-year-old Mr Nowak in December.

The case has sparked a diplomatic row, with Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy challenging US Vice-President JD Vance in a “robust” phone call after Vance linked the killing to a “mass invasion” of migrants into Europe.

Mr Lammy, who said the murder had “nothing to do with mass migration” and noted Mr Digwa was British-born, told the US vice-president his social media intervention was “not helpful.”

The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating Hampshire Police’s response, and the Attorney General is considering referring the sentence to the Court of Appeal.
