Two more people have been charged over the suspected murder of a dad.
Wesley Adyinka, 37, was fatally stabbed in the heart outside his home at Chaucer House, off Knightrider Street in Maidstone, during the early hours of February 10.
He is also accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to a woman in her 30s who also sustained a stab wound at the scene.
The Crown Prosecution Service has now authorised charges of joint venture murder and GBH against Rodney Harris, 37, of Mann Close, Croydon, and a 17-year-old boy from Streatham, south-west London, who cannot be named.
Both were arrested at the same time as Mr Roach but then released on bail pending further enquiries.
They appeared at Maidstone Crown Court today, with a next hearing due to take place on May 17, when guilty pleas are expected.
