Two people have died following tragic discoveries on opposite sides of Canterbury today.

Emergency crews were first called to Abbots Barton Walk at 7.05am following concern for the welfare of a man in his 20s.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Little more than three hours later, at 10.30am, police were called to a spot near the Asda supermarket in Sturry Road.

There, a woman was also pronounced dead by paramedics.

Police enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of both deaths.
