Two men have been charged with murder following the death of a man in Brighton almost six years ago.

Cameron Devlin, 34, was assaulted by a group of men in North Street in December 2019 and died in hospital five days later.

Police have now charged 25-year-old Oliver Priddle, of Peacock Lane, Brighton, and 24-year-old Niraj Amaidas, of Colwyn Close, Crawley, with murder.

Both men also face charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.  Priddle has also been charged with possessing a Class C drug.

The men are due to appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court on Thursday, September 25 to answer the charges.

Major Crime Team Detective Inspector, James Meanwell, said: "This has been a lengthy and complex investigation, which has taken a considerable period of time to reach this stage.

"Following the conclusion of all necessary enquiries, charges have now been authorised.

"Our thoughts remain with Cameron’s family, and they will be fully supported as proceedings continue. They ask for privacy at this time".
