One of the three people who died in Dover’s triple cliff tragedy has been named as Army veteran Scott Enion, 45, who fought in the Gulf War.

He died on New Year’s Day, the same day twins in their 50s died in a separate tragedy.

Mr Enion was from Radcliffe in Manchester and had been in the Army from 1988 to 1996.

He left claiming he had been racially abused and subsequently campaigned against prejudice.

He fought in the Gulf War in 1991 when western forces drove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and his forces out of Kuwait after they invaded it.

The day after Mr Enion’s death his niece Carley Enion, also from Manchester, posted a Facebook message saying: “ R.I.P to my beautiful uncle Scott, you will be missed by so many. Your are with the angels now. “

On Tuesday Mr Enion’s younger sister Lyndsey Enion a picture of herself and Mr Enion of Facebook. Her posting attracted a stream of tributes to him.

Mr Enion's body was discovered at the bottom of the cliffs at Langdon Bay, the same place where the brother and sister from Cheshire were also found dead.

Police are treating Mr Enion’s death and that of the twins as separate incidents and neither case is considered suspicious.

The twins were 59 and from the Elton area of Cheshire.

Det Sgt Stuart Ward said shortly after their tragedy: “We know they were in London on 22 December and we can place them in Dover on Boxing Day, but we are keen to establish if they were staying locally.

“We have already contacted local hotels but are now asking owners of guest houses, bed and breakfasts and pubs to contact us if they had a man and woman in their late 50s from Cheshire staying over the Christmas and New Year period.”
