TWO Basingstoke men found with kitchen knives in public have been fined. Richard James Evans, of Cleaver Road, South Ham, was found to be in possession of the blade in Basingstoke on May 1, 2020. Pleading guilty at Basingstoke Magistrates Court earlier this week, the 39-year-old was fined £66, and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £34. In a separate incident, 19-year-old Joshua Melfi was found with a black handled kitchen knife on June 28, 2019. He was given a community order, where he must participate in 25 rehabilitation activity days. The court heard that because the defendant was a juvenile at the time of the offence, the sentence should be akin to that he would have received at that age.
My world stopped, came crashing down, for emptiness within. To not be able to hold my son again. To see his smile, to hear his voice, to be at his wedding, to be a grandmother, all taken away. Not being able to feel his loving embrace, to laugh at his jokes, is a heavy burden to bear. To hear how violently his life was taken away from him is hard to hear. No amount of tears I cry take away the pain. More than 1,000 people attended Taylor s funeral in 2019, and dozens turned up to Winchester Crown Court on Friday to witness his killer face justice.

An Andoverian was almost eight times the drug-drive limit as he drove through the town centre on Christmas Eve 2019, a court has heard. Reuben Twigg had 384 micrograms of benzoylecgonine, a breakdown product of cocaine, in a litre of his blood, where the legal limit is 50. The 27-year-old was stopped by police on Shepherds Spring Lane on December 24, 2019, whilst behind the wheel of his car. Twigg, of Walworth Road, Picket Piece, was banned from driving for a year at Basingstoke Magistrates Court last week. He was further fined £253, and ordered to pay a £32 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.
