Stabbing death in Kent village
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A man died from stab wounds and a woman was seriously injured after an attack at her home yesterday. Police refused to identify either of the victims but said there were early signs that the woman, in her mid-30s, had been sexually assaulted.
Officers were called to a house in Densole, near Folkestone, Kent, yesterday at about 10am after calls from neighbours. They found the dead man lying in the hallway of the house. A spokesman from Kent Constabulary said a post-mortem examination confirmed that the man, aged in his mid-40s, had died from a single stab wound to the chest. The woman will be interviewed in hospital this morning if well enough. Matthew Brace
