Six more people have been charged in relation to the violent disorder in Southampton earlier this week following the sentencing of Henry Nowak's murderer.
The total number of people who have been charged following the unrest in the port city has now reached 11.
Today, Kevin Reeves, 31, of Portswood Road, Southampton, Andrew Riddett, 38, of Seacombe Green, Southampton, Harry Varney, 34, of Briarswood, Southampton, Taylor Grundy, 22, of Pavillion Way, Gosport, and Dillon Crawford, 29, of Wilton Avenue, Southampton, were charged with violent disorder.
Andrew Summerhayes, 38, of Banning Street, Romsey, was also charged with violent disorder as well as two counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
All will appear at Southampton Magistrates’ Court this morning. Hampshire Police confirmed the charges this morning after confirming three others were charged with violent disorder yesterday.
On Thursday, the force announced the first two men who were charged in relation to the disorder in the south coast city.
Hundreds of protesters flocked to Southampton after Vickrum Digwa was sentenced for the murder of the 18-year-old finance student.
Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years after stabbing Mr Nowak to death with a Sikh ceremonial knife on December 3 last year.

He falsely claimed he had been racially abused, leading police to handcuff Mr Nowak with his hands locked behind his back in his final moments before he slipped out of consciousness and died.
Harrowing bodycam footage, released by Hampshire Police with the family's consent, showed Mr Nowak repeatedly saying "I can't breathe" and informing officers that he had been stabbed.
"Don't think you have, mate," one officer responded.
Hordes gathered at around 6pm on Tuesday evening to hold a minute's silence for the slain teenager, with shouts of "shame on you" also being heard.
Missiles were catapulted at officers deployed to the city's streets, while protesters urged officers to "take the knee" and heckled "I can't breathe" at the riot police.

Video footage captured furious protesters flinging bins into crowds and confronting officers armed with shields.
Groups of marchers later took the knee near where Mr Nowak was murdered.
Outside the station, crowds gathered to listen to speakers - one of whom called for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary to "sack and prosecute" the officers involved in Mr Nowak's arrest, and pay compensation to his family.
Sir Keir Starmer has since condemned the violence on Tuesday night after the county's police and crime commissioner announced that the teenager's family was "disappointed" by the havoc.
Anger has continued to be propelled across the nation and even across the pond, with US Vice President JD Vance blaming Mr Nowak's murder on the "mass invasion of migrants", calling for "righteous anger" in response.
Firing back, Sir Keir Starmer blasted "people trying to interfere in our democracy and stir up division in our streets" after the Nowak family's request to "not whip up division".
It echoed a criticism from the Prime Minister directed at tech tycoon Elon Musk earlier in the week, who said Britain treated racism worse than offences of rape and murder.
Sir Keir accused Mr Musk of "interfering" in British politics and added the UK must "assert who we are as reasonable, tolerant people".
The Labour leader met with the Nowak family on Thursday at No10 after which he said he was "profoundly humbled to see their dignity and strength in the face of unimaginable pain".
