Park Road in Chandler's Ford, where cordons also extended to Valley Road on Sunday afternoon as Hampshire Police appealed on reference number 44260534624 for party guests who had not yet spoken to officers.The party's address was shared on Snapchat, drawing around 70 uninvited guests to a supervised birthday celebration at an £800,000 property, with a group of males climbing the garden fence before stabbing five sixth-form boys in an attack witnesses described as sudden and unprovoked.
Three boys are now being held on attempted murder charges after gatecrashers scaled a garden fence and stabbed five invited teenage guests at a supervised Halloween party in Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh. The third arrest is a 16-year-old from Bristol; the two earlier suspects are a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, both from Southampton. One 17-year-old victim remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital.
Around 70 uninvited revellers descended on the party after its address was shared on Snapchat, overwhelming the parents who were present at the £800,000 property on Park Road.
All five stabbed boys — aged 16 or 17 — had been invited to the event; the attackers climbed a wooden fence and assaulted victims both inside and outside the property.
Officers are appealing for CCTV, dashcam and doorbell footage from Park Road and have been making visits to local schools and colleges as part of efforts to reassure the community.
