The final person in Gisborne Hospital after a deadly 21st birthday party has been discharged.

Two people died and three others were taken to hospital initially in a critical condition after a 100-person brawl on Lytton Road in March.

Police are reviewing footage filmed at the party where Chrysler Steven-Mark who was celebrating his 21st and Kane Taare-Gray were killed.

Two men, aged 25 and 29, are set to appear in the Gisborne District Court for bail hearings later this month.

They have both been charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Investigators were making steady progress and had now spoken to most of those who were at the party, police said.

Police still wanted to hear from anyone who was at the party or anyone who had photos or videos.
