Suhail Choudry died on 11 February, days after the alleged attack in Keighley

Detectives investigating the death of a man after he was allegedly attacked in the street have charged three more people.

Suhail Choudry, 35, died in hospital on 11 February, three days after he was found injured in Flasby Street, Keighley. He had been reportedly chased and attacked by a group armed with sticks and bats.

West Yorkshire Police said earlier that officers had charged Mohammed Aliyan Khan, 23, Faisal Khan, 26, and Hakeem Gulzar, 27, with murder, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and violent disorder.

Rashid Hussain, 41, of Redcliffe Street, Keighley, was previously charged with murder, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and violent disorder.

Mohammed Aliyan Khan and Faisal Khan, both of Malsis Road in Keighley, are due to appear before Bradford Magistrates' Court alongside Gulzar later.

Officers also arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of assisting an offender and a 26-year-old woman on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

Both remain in police custody, police said on Tuesday.

Choudry, a father-of-two, had been expecting a third child with his wife Zara, who in a tribute following his death, said he had been a "father before anything".
