A section of the A2 which was closed this morning as part of a police murder inquiry has now been re-opened.

It was shut from Brenley Corner to the A28 Ashford Road at midday following an incident in which a man died at a caravan site at Dunkirk.

Officers swooped on the Brotherhood Wood site behind Gate Services last night after reports that a man in his 20s had died after suffering a serious chest injury.

A police spokesman said: "The closure was enforced as part of an ongoing Kent Police investigation following a suspected murder in Gate Hill, Dunkirk, on the evening of Sunday, April 7, 2019."

Stagecoach says its buses were unable to serve Boughton and Dunkirk during the closure.
