An eldely man was found dead in his home.

The body of the 72-year-old, was discovered at a private address in Templar Street, Dover, at around 1.50pm on Thursday, May 16.

The Kent Essex Serious Crime Directorate are investigating and officers believe that the victim was called David Watkins.

A post-mortem examination was held Wednesday and is being treated as unexplained.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Officers are continuing to carry out inquiries to establish the circumstances of the death and trace Mr Watkins' movements in the weeks leading up to when he was found.

"People who have not yet spoken to officers, are asked to come forward if they saw Mr Watkins over the past few weeks.

"Or if they witnessed anything suspicious in the area of Templar Street in the days leading up to when his body was discovered."

Drivers are also asked to come forward if they travelled down Templar Street near the junction with London Road and might have dashcam footage.

This would need to have been taken between the morning of Wednesday, May 8 and the afternoon of May 16.
