Four Hornsey men were charged with violent disorder earlier this week and will now face a pre-trial plea hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on September 24.
One of the four, Mohamed Gelani, of Newland Road, had been granted bail but this was challenged by the Crown Prosecution Service and on Thursday August 29 he was again remanded in custody.
Mr Bent, 21, was killed during the early hours of Sunday morning in the Kent town's High Street.
He died of an apparent stab wound.
