'Middle of the day'
A 30-year-old woman from Farnborough has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Police said a boy, arrested on Friday, has been released and no further action will be taken against him.
Hampshire Constabulary said Mr Hardy died "after suffering multiple stab wounds".
Det Ch Insp Nick Heelan said: "We are continuing to appeal for information in relation to this murder investigation.
"Richard was stabbed to death, in the middle of the day, and I believe there are witnesses who could assist us in understanding the exact circumstances that led up to his death.
"If you have any piece of information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, get in contact."
The cordon has been lifted on Mayfield Road but searches are continuing in the area.
