Police investigating the death of 22-year-old Thomas Kelly, after a violent confrontation in Crawley in 2017, have charged three men in connection with the incident.
According to officers, Mr. Kelly had been in a car when he was involved in an altercation with groups of people in another two cars in Crawley at around 3am on 21 October 2017.
After this initial altercation, police believe all three cars, two Suzukis and a grey or black BMW, drove into the High Street.
Here, several people reportedly got out of the cars and were involved in a fight outside Lloyds Barbers.
After being involved in the incident, Mr. Kelly lost his life in hospital on 3 November 2017.
As a result of their investigation, Sussex Police this morning (June 28) said they had charged Callum Beale, 24, of Furnace Green, Crawley, and David Marr, 26, of Ifield, Crawley.
They face accusations of manslaughter, and of causing grievous bodily harm.
Additionally, John Marr, 31, of Northgate, Crawley, has been charged with affray.
They will all appear before Crawley Magistrates’ Court this Wednesday (June 30).
Detective Chief Inspector Jon Robeson said:
“Our thoughts remain with Thomas’s family during this difficult time.
“This represents a significant development in our investigation and we continue to appeal to the public for any information that may assist with our enquiries.
“Anyone with information is urged to report online or call 101, quoting Operation Ideford.”
