A man has appeared in court charged with murder following the death of a man in Blue Town last week.

Milos Louzecky was arrested following the stabbing of the 29-year-old victim in West Street around 5pm on Tuesday.

An air ambulance crew landed in a nearby car park but were unable to save the man's life.

The 46-year-old Czech national appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court yesterday (Saturday) where he was remanded in custody.

A 28-year-old man, who was also arrested at the same time, has been released without charge.

Louzecky, of West Street, Blue Town, will appear at court on May 9 for a plea and case management hearing.

Local reports suggest the three men were related and lived together in the flat where the stabbing took place.
