Murder detectives have released two men and a woman after a 53-year-old man was found with severe head injuries at his home.

Two men aged 22 and 25 from Swanley and a 20-year-old woman from Orpington were arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday.

They have all been bailed for further enquiries until May 6.

It comes after Russell Jarrett, 53, of Twitton Meadows, Otford, was seen drinking at The Crown pub in Otford High Street on the evening of Wednesday, February 11.

He was last seen outside his home in the early hours of Thursday, February 12, and later that day ambulance crews were called to his house.
