New Year's death: Three arrests

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 21 year old Sittingbourne man died in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

The men being questioned by police are aged 48, 31 and 29 and all live locally.

Police were called to a disturbance at a block of flats in Henley Place, London Road, Sittingbourne at 1.30am.

Half an hour late, police attended the same location following a report that a man was lying injured on the ground outside the flats with a suspected stab wound.

He was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after. A post mortem will be held this afternoon.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101. Alternatively, Kent Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
