A TEENAGE delinquent named and shamed for terrorising his neighbourhood has ended his life by apparently committing suicide.

Damien Brown, 18, drank a bottle of vodka and overdosed on paracetamol before slitting his wrists. He was discovered unconscious by one of his brothers at the family home in Hillhouse Road, Stone, near Dartford.

Police and paramedics went to the address just before 3am on Saturday and Damien was taken to Darent Valley Hospital. About 35 minutes later he was pronounced dead.

Together with his brothers Daniel, 16, and Darren, 15, Damien hit the headlines after inflicting a reign of terror on his neighbours with his anti-social behaviour.

He appeared before magistrates time and again and only last week appeared at Dartford Magistrates' court for criminal damage and breaching his anti-social behaviour order which was issued a year ago.

Earlier this month he went to Maidstone Crown Court to appeal against the order but it was rejected.
