Four arrests have been made in an investigation into a fatal stabbing in Kent.

Emergency services were called to reports of a serious assault in Belmont Road, Whitstable, on 3 April, where a 19-year-old man was found dead.

Two women, 22 and 24, along with a 26-year-old-man were arrested in Sittingbourne on Wednesday on suspicion of assisting an offender.

A 21-year-old man, also from Sittingbourne, was arrested on suspicion of the same offence on Sunday. All have since been bailed, pending further inquiries.
