Flowers and other tributes have been left for a teenager killed in a stabbing.
The 18-year-old died following an attack in an alleyway connecting Suffolk Road and Dartford's High Street on Friday shortly after 9pm.
Two 19-year-old men arrested on suspicion of murder in Gillingham at around 12.30am remain in custody.
Heart-shaped balloons, candles, flowers, and handwritten notes for the young man now line the alley.
Cardboard signs reading "RIP young man", tea lights, and bottles are among tributes placed at the scene.
One handwritten tribute read: "Rest in the most beautiful paradise, we'll see you soon bro."
Another said: "My little bro, I can't believe it man, you're gonna be remembered by so many people, your jokes, presence, everything's gonna be missed."
People continued to lay flowers at the scene this morning.
