Four people have been bailed during a murder inquiry after a man was found dead in a garden.

The 34-year-old's body was discovered at St Teresa's Close, Ashford, just after midnight on Tuesday.

South Kent Police today said the four had been bailed pending further enquiries.

A post mortem examination was carried out on the victim's body yesterday but police spokesman Rosy Alexander said: "The findings of the Home Office post mortem will not be conclusive until the results of forensic testing are known."

On Tuesday three people had been arrested on suspicion of murder, two men aged 33 and 52 and a 27-year-old woman.

A 32-year-old man had also been arrested on suspicion of assault.

The victim has not yet been named.
