Hampshire, UK, -- Three more men have been
arrested after the death of a 20-year-old Iraqi Kurd
who was stabbed in a park.
Ten people have been questioned over the death of
Goran Barzan Fariq after a fight in the Queen
Elizabeth Country Park, near Petersfield, on 9 June.
One of those - Fakher Mohammed, 22, from Portsmouth
- has been charged with murder and is currently
awaiting trial.
Two of the three men, aged 27 and 28, arrested on
Tuesday were released but a 20-year-old is still
being questioned.
Five other men had already been arrested in
connection with the death before being bailed. A
20-year-old woman was also arrested and released
with no further action taken against her.
Police said there had been a large annual gathering
of Iraqi Kurdish families at the park.
A picture of the man killed at a Hampshire beauty
spot in a church-organised family barbecue has now
been released.
