A man has been arrested in connection with the deadly street fight that claimed the life of 21-year-old Andre Bent in Maidstone town centre.
Fatal Stabbing Shakes Maidstone
The brutal clash erupted in the early hours of 25 August 2019. Andre Bent was fatally stabbed after 17-year-old Vasilios Ofogeli and his friends travelled from London to a local nightclub. The violence spilled onto the streets, ending Andre’s life.
Life Behind Bars for Murderer
Ofogeli was convicted last year of Andre’s murder, plus two counts of attempted murder and one of wounding with intent. He was locked up for life on 21 May 2020.
