British Transport Police are appealing for witnesses to a serious sexual assault

The woman who was killed at Kearsney railway station has been named as Amelia Cable.

She died just two days after almost being run over in Dover.

Emergency services were called to the station at 11.51am on Saturday March 27 after Ms Cable was struck by a Dover-bound train.

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: “The incident is currently being treated as non-suspicious. Officers from Kent Police also attended, alongside paramedics from the ambulance service, but the woman, who was 35 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene.

“A file will be prepared for the coroner.”

The train involved and other services were delayed for some time while the body was recovered. The train driver suffered from severe shock.

Ms Cable, who had lived in Dover for many years, had a teenage daughter.

On Thursday March 25, two days before her death, Ms Cable was seen crouching in the road at New Street, Dover, sorting items in a bag she was carrying, right behind a parked vehicle.

The driver returned to his vehicle, but did not see her as she was out of his sight and could not be seen in his mirrors.

He was about to reverse when a passer-by waved to him to stop, and warned him of the danger.

Ms Cable eventually moved to the side of the road, before walking up to York Street.
