The teenager was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, but is now said to be stable.

Connaugh was discharged from hospital after treatment.

Christian, who police say was known to the victims, has been remanded in custody and will appear at Medway magistrates tomorrow via video link.

Two women, aged 18 and 35, were arrested in the early hours of this morning and remain in custody.
