Three men have been charged with the murder of a 51-year-old man found dead in a car park.

Guy Levy was discovered with serious injuries in a multi-storey in Castle Street, Canterbury, on Monday.

He was pronounced dead at the scene after police were called to the site at about 1.45pm.

Gavin Houghton, 49, of no fixed address, Sobantu Sibanda, 27, also of no fixed address, and Airidas Sakalauskas, 21, of Old Dover Road, Canterbury, were all remanded in custody.

They appeared at Folkestone Magistrates' Court today after the Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges of murder against them.

None of the three entered any plea in relation to the charge, and the trio will appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Monday (April 17).

Police and forensic teams in white suits were at the scene on Tuesday with parts of the car park cordoned off.

Much of the investigation has focused along part of Gas Street, next to the Canterbury Castle ruins, where teams were carrying out inquiries.

Michaela Neal, 25 who lives in the building above the car park, said: "I had no idea. My heart goes out to his family but I'm not surprised that something like this has happened here.

"It's just a part of living in Canterbury, especially because we live so close to Dane John."

Neighbour Ahmed Yjwaje, 23, added: "I'm surprised that this would happen here in the car park and it worries me because I walk home that way late from work sometimes."
