Murder detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man and a woman in Canterbury have arrested two more people in connection with the deaths.

Simon Gorecki, 47 and Natasha Sadler, a 40-year-old mother-of-three, were killed during an altercation on Wednesday night.

A 53-year-old man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody on suspicion of murder.

In the early hours of this morning officers arrested two women aged 18 and 35 on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

A 20-year-old man, believed to be Natasha’s son Connaugh, was injured in the incident but has been released from hospital.

His brother Brandon, 17, also suffered serious wounds and was in a critical condition, but is now said to be stable and conscious.

Post mortem examinations are due to take place later today. Next of kin have been informed.
