A body has been found at the house where double murder suspect Stephen Farrow was arrested.

But it has now been confirmed that this development is not being treated as suspicious.

Officers received reports of the death overnight of a youth man at the Folkestone property this morning, four days after Farrow was arrested there.

An ambulance was seen outside the premises at Black Bull Road, Folkestone along with police forensics officers.

Kent Police spokesman Jane Walker said: "Police were called at 8.35am today after reports of a death at the premises.

"This was reported to be of a young man.

"We are not treating this death as suspicious but it remains unexplained until we received the results of a post mortem examination."

Farrow, 47, a suspect in the murders of a vicar and pensioner, was arrested at the same property in the early hours of Sunday.

There had been a national manhunt for him following the fatal stabbing of the Rev John Suddards, 59, in Thornbury near Bristol on February 14.

This was linked to the killing of retired teacher Betty Yates, 77, in Bewdley, Worcestershire, on January 4.

Farrow has now been charged with both murders and appeared before North Avon magistrates in Gloucestershire this morning.

He was remanded in custody.

Kent Police at this stage were unable to give further details of what happened at the Folkestone house this morning

But there is no suggestion from anyone that it is connected to the Farrow case.

Further details concerning this death are expected to emerge later.
