Teenagers arrested over murder at seaside resort
Three teenagers have been arrested over the murder of a man at a seaside resort. Kent Police said the man in his 40s died after being attacked during an altercation on the Isle of Sheppey on the north Kent coast. 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. The man was pronounced dead after the attack at around 7pm on Sunday in the Warden Bay Road area of the Leysdown-on-Sea resort after an air ambulance was called to the scene. According to locals, the area was busy with people enjoying the Sunday sunshine. 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. Investigators have brought out a sniffer dog at the crime scene as they continue their search. Two boys aged 14 and 15 and a 16-year old girl are being questioned over his murder. Detectives are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information should call Kent Police on 01622 690690 quoting 10-1384.

Live updates: The latest on Trump's federal crackdown on Washington, DC
Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: Trump will hold a news conference addressing his DC crime crackdown today Content: President Donald Trump has called a news conference at the White House today to address his federal crackdown on Washington, DC. In a series of posts on social media over the weekend, Trump claimed his announcement — scheduled for 10 a.m. ET in the press briefing room — will 'essentially stop violent crime' in the nation's capital. He also said he will announce 'Beautification' and 'Cleanliness' efforts, which would apparently involve removing homeless people from the city. 'The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,' Trump wrote on Truth Social yesterday. 'The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong. It's all going to happen very fast, just like the Border.' The post included pictures of tents and trash throughout the city. The president said DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is 'a good person who has tried,' but claimed the city 'only gets dirtier and less attractive.' We'll be covering the press conference as it happens today. Stay with us for the latest. Some context: The Trump administration ordered an increase of federal law enforcement in the US capital last week, deploying officials from different agencies in a push to crack down on crime. In announcing the increase, the White House pointed to several high-profile crimes in DC, including the killing of two Israeli Embassy staff members in May. But according to a preliminary year-to-date crime comparison from DC Police, 2025 crime numbers are lower than last year's. Update: Date: 8 min ago Title: Plans call for FBI agents to patrol with local police in DC Content: The federal government's plans for a surge of law enforcement in Washington calls for up to 130 FBI agents to patrol with officers from the city-run DC Metropolitan Police Department, according to one person familiar. President Donald Trump launched the initiative last week with a White House official saying Saturday up to 450 federal law enforcement officers are expected participate. It's not typical for FBI agents to patrol with local police departments. The Washington Post first reported on the use of FBI agents.
