Four men from Hornsey have been charged with violent disorder over the incident, which saw Mr Bent killed in High Street in the Kent town in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 21 year old business management student from Lambeth was attacked in an incident which saw four others seriously injured - three of whom had also been stabbed.
Police recovered two knives from the scene and have searched a stretch of the river Len as part of the investigation.
The fifth man, 23, has been released on bail until September 23.
He had been arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon and perverting the course of justice. The four charged with violent disorder are Yussef Abdi Aweys, 19, of Lightfoot Road, Darien Thompson-Cox, 21, of Raleigh Road, Mohamed Gelani, 23, of Newland Road, and Nathaniel Small, 22, of Boyton Road.
