A man's body was discovered near a town centre supermarket this week.

On Friday police cordoned off the route which runs along the River Len underneath Wat Tyler Way in Maidstone following calls concerning a man's welfare.

A man in his 30s was pronounced dead at the scene near Sainsbury's at Romney Place shortly after 2pm.

Officers were seen searching the banks of the river with flash lights and one resident reported seeing a body bag being loaded into an funeral director's estate car.
