A community has been left in a state of shock after two people were killed in a road crash as they walked home after a night out.

Mother-of-three Denise Head, 49, and Brian Moon, 67 died after being struck by a car in Beaver Road, Ashford as they returned from a social club at around 12.15am Sunday.

Since the incident, a steady stream of friends and relatives have visited the scene to pay tribute or lay flowers. Mourners have gathered, many of them in tears and hugging each other.

Three others were injured in the incident, including a a 12-year-old girl.

A 24-year-old Slovakian man appeared in court on Monday charged with causing the death of two people by dangerous driving.

Stefan Stanko, of West Street, Gravesend is also charged with driving after consuming excess alcohol and failing to stop after the incident.

Speaking through an interpreter at Ashford Magistrates’ Court, Mr Stanko simply confirmed his name, address and date of birth.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Monday, October 12.
