A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, as a huge police presence descends on a town.

Margate's Aldi was closed as the authorities cordoned off the area around Sandhurst Place while they carried out the arrest.

It has since reopened but part of the car park remains cordoned off.

Officers arrived at the property at 1am, where they found a man in his 40s dead at the scene.

They remain at the property this morning.

Police believe the two men knew each other.

A witness described hearing screams in the early hours of the morning.

She said forensics officers are currently combing and photographing the scene.

Hannah Blake, of nearby Dane Hill, said: "I was actually sleeping when it happened, but I got messaged by a neighbour to say that half of my street was blocked off."
