Three teenagers arrested in Leysdown-on-Sea on suspicion of murdering man

Three teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man in his forties was found dead in Leysdown-on-Sea.

Kent Police were called to the scene on the Isle of Sheppey yesterday evening, around 7pm, after an ’altercation’.

They found a man who had been assaulted, suffering serious injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Shortly after the man died, officers arrested a 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 14 and 15, on suspicion of his murder.

Anyone who may have witnessed something has been urged to call Kent Police.

A police cordon has been set up in a large clearing behind the beach in the Leysdown-on-Sea resort, in front of a caravan park.

One local resident was surprised that her afternoon walk was disrupted, as she thought the helicopter sent last night was the coast guard which they "get a lot" at this time of year.
