Police investigating the stabbing of five teenagers at a Halloween party in Hampshire have made two further arrests.

Police were called shortly after 22:30 GMT on Saturday to a home in Park Road in Chandler's Ford where an "unknown group" had gained entry to the event over a garden fence.

One boy, 17, remains in hospital in a serious condition. The other four boys, who were all injured, have since been discharged.

On Thursday, police said two 16-year-old boys from Southampton had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

A 16-year-old boy from Southampton who was arrested on Monday morning, and another 16-year-old boy from Southampton who was arrested on Tuesday afternoon, also remain in custody after the court granted police more time to continue questioning them.

Two more boys, who were also arrested and questioned as part of the investigation, have been released on bail.
