The mystery of bodies “hanging around” on an industrial estate has been solved.

The artistic creations were spotted swinging from a tree on the Henwood Estate in Ashford, but nobody had claimed responsibility.

But it has been revealed that a technician from the Ashford School of Art and Design, based on Henwood, clearing up after the art show salvaged the bodies that were bound for the bin.

Technician Vicky Paine said a student had left them in a studio: “Instead of putting them in the bin I put them in the trees to make someone laugh.”

Their arrival proved a tricky mystery to solve so we appealed for information at www.kentishexpress.co.uk and www.kentonline.co.uk

There were originally three bodies: one made of cling film, one of Sellotape and one of silver foil.
