Three teenagers arrested on suspicion of murder after man dies on Isle of Sheppey
A 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 14 and 15, are in custody
Three teenagers have been arrested following the death of a man on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.
Kent Police officers were called to the Warden Bay Road area in Leysdown-on-Sea shortly after 7pm on Sunday to reports of an altercation and a serious assault on a man.
Paramedics also attended, and a man in his 40s was confirmed dead.
His next of kin has been informed.
A 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 14 and 15, have since been arrested on suspicion of murder.
They remain in custody pending further inquiries, police said.
On Monday, a police cordon could be seen in a large clearing behind the beach in the Leysdown-on-Sea resort, in front of a caravan park.
One local resident was surprised that her afternoon walk was disrupted, as she thought the helicopter sent last night was the coast guard which they “get a lot” at this time of year.
A crew of Kent police officers remained at the scene on Monday.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information should call Kent Police on 01622 690690 quoting 10-1384.
