Office workers who watched from their window as a woman’s body was removed from Gillingham woodland just yards away have spoken about the "upsetting" day.

The identity of the woman, whose body was discovered between Owens Way and Copperhouse Lane on Thursday morning, has still not been released as police await formal identification.

Jo George, 27, works at Jubilee Clips – about 50 yards from where the body was found.

She said: "It was a very strange atmosphere and everyone was wondering what was going on. We all knew something big was happening because police car after police car were pulling up and then a nurse followed by forensics van.

"When we realised it was a dead body, and after seeing the private ambulance arrive, it did make us feel a bit upset to think she was laying there whilst we all just thought it was another normal working day."

Four police vehicles police a forensics team were called to the scene at about 9.45am and sealed off the area.

A Kent Police spokesman said the death was not believed to be suspicious.
