The victim of an alleged murder has been named as Mark Miles.
A man in his 40s was killed yesterday at Sandhurst Place in Margate at 1am, and a man who was known to the victim was arrested a short distance away.
Richard McAuley, 23, of Northdown Road, Cliftonville, has now been charged on suspicion of murder.
He has also been charged with assaulting a woman during the incident. She was not seriously injured.
Mr McAuley will appear before Medway magistrates on Monday 14 October.
Police were initially called to reports a man had been seriously injured with a broken bottle.
Mr Miles was pronounced dead at the scene.
A neighbour told KentOnline that he heard "blood-curdling screams" coming from the flat, where a woman is reported to have been present.
Dogs were used by officers combing the area for evidence, and forensic teams also descended on the property.
