Three men arrested on suspicion of the murder of Mark Noke have been bailed

The three suspects, all from Southampton, aged 20, 23, and 31, were apprehended in the early hours of Tuesday morning (28 February) and have been in police custody since then.

Although they have been bailed with conditions while enquiries continue, Acting DCI Howard Broadribb has reassured the public that his team is determined to bring those responsible for Mr Noke’s death to justice.

To this end, extra officers have been deployed to patrol the Thornhill area over the weekend, and a mobile police station has been set up in Warburton Road. Police have urged anyone with concerns to speak to the officers on duty.

Meanwhile, two of the men, Jack Follett, 23, and Aaron Morgan, 31, have been charged with other offences unrelated to Mr Noke’s murder. Follett has been charged with possession of a firearm, while Morgan has been charged with being concerned in the supply of controlled substances. Both men have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Southampton Magistrates’ Court today (4 March).

The investigation into Mr Noke’s murder is ongoing, and police have appealed to anyone with information to come forward.
