TWO men have been charged with murder after a man was stabbed to death in Southampton.

Shkelzen 'Genny' Dauti, 21, was found injured on Gilpin Close and rushed to Southampton General Hospital but could not be saved.

Police launched a murder investigation and appealed for information on the incident, which happened in the early hours of March 11 this year.

Officers were later seen searching a section of the M27 as part of the probe.

Now Christopher Jones, 27, of Denbigh, Wales, and Lee Marc Williams, 27, of Lixwm Village, Wales, have been charged with murder.

They are both due to appear at Southampton Magistrates' Court today.
