Investigate

Detectives are investigating following the death of a man in Sittingbourne town centre late Saturday (2nd August) night.

Police were called shortly after 9.30pm to a report of a collision involving a car and a man who had fallen from a wall into St Michael’s Road, near to the junction with Dover Street.

Officers attended along with paramedics and a man in his 30s was confirmed deceased. His next of kin has been informed.

Kent Police’s Rural Task Force are investigating the suspected killing of a tawny owl in Upchurch.

The incident is believed to have happened in October 2022 and officers have recently come into possession of images of two men they would like to speak to.

Police Sergeant Darren Walshaw told SFM News: ‘we suspect an owl was killed using catapults and are now issuing photographs of two people who may be able to assist with our enquiries. Anybody who recognises one or both of them is urged to contact our appeal line."
