Aldershot man remanded over Basingstoke attack
POLICE have charged a 19-year-old Aldershot man with conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent after a man was seriously assaulted in Basingstoke.

Segest Meti, 19, of York Road, Aldershot, appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday and was remanded into custody. He is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday May 8.
