Two young women charged with murdering a 30-year-old man have been remanded in custody.

Alicia Davis, 22, of Milner Crescent, Aylesham, and 21-year-old Charlotte Coulson, of Clarendon Street, Dover, appeared at the magistrates court at Dover this morning accused of killing Michael Kerr.

The case has been committed to the Crown Court.

More than 1,300 people joined a Facebook group to pay tribute to Mr Kerr, who lived at Aycliffe, Dover.

Friends said Mr Kerr (pictured right) was well-liked in the Dover community and "wouldn't hurt a fly".

They called the budding DJ, a former pupil at Harbour School in Dover, a "kind and caring gent".

Friend Gillian Williamson said: "Words fail me... You will be greatly missed. RIP mate."

Former schoolmate Donna Carter-Leay posted on Facebook: "Your loving soul can fly with the angels. My thoughts are with your family at this sad time. Till we meet again, make sure you spin them tunes."

And Kelly Harding said: "God bless you Michael, I will always remember you. Such a kind and caring gent, you'll be missed by many."

Clare Habbershaw posted: "You made a big impact on people's lives. Heaven has gained one lovely angel. Sleep tight."

And Gill Dodd said: "You always used to want to be a star but the truth was you already were. You brightened up every night in the attic rooms. You were a breath of fresh air ... a true gentleman."

Police were called to the scene in Satmar Lane, Capel-le-Ferne, at just after 1pm on Wednesday.

The two women, 21 and 22, were arrested almost immediately on suspicion of murder and were taken to a local police station for questioning.

Three men were also arrested on suspicion of murder, but later released.

It is not known why Mr Kerr was at Capel, although friends said he would always offer a lift to people who needed it.

Mr Kerr lived with his grandparents at King's Ropewalk, Aycliffe.

Neighbour Brian Dixon said: "He was such a nice lad with a heart of gold. Me and him had quite a few chats over the garden wall so to speak."
