A man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody as it emerged that his alleged victim was just 19.

The 63-year-old was arrested on Friday afternoon after the young woman died at the Westlands Caravan Park near Herne Bay.

Police had been called to the park in Canterbury Road, Herne Common, at 2pm following reports of a serious assault.
