Oxford Street lined with over 40 beds after migrants cleared
More than 40 rough sleepers have set up camp on Britain's most famous shopping street just weeks after a 'tent city' of homeless people was broken up. A long line of homeless people were seen under duvets and makeshift beds after dark on Oxford Street, London, with some groups talking and sleeping. The world-renowned shopping hub is one of Europe's busiest retail streets, with hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the globe. In July, migrants were seen sleeping under bedding and smoking cigarettes on the world famous street just a week after being evicted from the area. People were seen gathered on the pavement outside John Lewis' flagship store as shoppers and commuters walked around them. The camp was been spotted just days after a 'tent city' full of homeless people in the area was broken up. Weeks ago, enforcement teams were called to tear down the encampment which blighted Hyde Park Corner for months. The action was taken by Transport for London (TfL), which applied for a possession order to retake the land. MailOnline understands it was the fourth such time the site had been cleared in the last 12 months. The camp was next to London's West End tourist Mecca, and just a stone's throw away from Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Speaker's Corner, as well as Oxford Street. The most recent spotting of around 40 homeless people sleeping on world famous street, with locals saying 'the vibe' of the area has changed. One said: 'After hearing about all the phone snatching and pickpocketing, I thought I knew what to expect. But I wasn't ready for the number of homeless people I saw when I went to an evening event.' Another said: 'I lived in London 20 years ago, worked in Bond Street. It was nothing like that.' While one quipped: 'London is a mess right now.' In July, dramatic pictures showed groups of people from the squalid site in Hyde Park being moved on by officers, some of whom appeared to be wearing stab vests. Occupants of the camp were forced to rip down dwellings made of tarpaulin sheeting while bailiffs watched on. Some from the tent city were pictured hauling grubby-looking mattresses after being evicted. Security teams comprising dog-handling units maintained a presence at the former campsite today. For months the prime city centre spot, opposite The Dorchester in Park Lane has been plagued by homelessness. Up to 100 migrants were reportedly camped at the site at one point, with some defiantly saying they won't go anywhere. But their presence ignited fury from exasperated local residents, who wanted them gone. When MailOnline visited a previous Mayfair location last year, those living there insisted they were going nowhere. 'We don't have any money [to go anywhere else]. We will just stay here until we can find something,' said someone from the group. The eyesore was just yards from an Aston Martin showroom and other prestigious hotels like the Beaumont, the Hyatt Regency and the Connaught.

Boy screamed ‘I've done him, I've done him' after man ‘beaten to death with rocks' in Isle of Sheppey – as 3 teens held
WITNESSES have described the moment a boy screamed "I've done him" after a man was allegedly beaten to death with rocks. Three teenagers were arrested following reports of an altercation on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, on Sunday evening. 4 4 4 Emergency crews were scrambled to Leysdown-on-Sea at around 7pm, where they discovered a man in his 40s with serious injuries. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene. A short time later, a 16-year-old girl and two teenage boys, aged 14 and 15, were arrested "in an arcade" on suspicion of murder. One witness to the alleged attack told how they'd seen an older man being "chased by a kid". The dad of three said: 'I initially went up to the sea wall because there was a kid up there who was bleeding and making a load of noise. "I thought he had been mugged. I went up to check on him and then I saw an older guy being chased by a kid. 'The kid came back and he said 'I've done him, I've done him'. At this point I just thought they'd slapped him around a bit. 'Then I went down to the man, I could see he was lying on the ground - people were already doing CPR. "When I got over there I knew immediately he was dead… "One of the ladies giving CPR said they had kicked him in his head, I saw rocks all around his head as well." The witness sent his son home before chasing after the attackers. He added: 'I took my shoes off and I ran after them. Teen girl, 13, dies after 'getting into difficulty' in the sea near popular UK beach 'They ran off towards Leysdown so I sprinted after them, I was asking everyone if they'd seem him. 'I found them near the pitch and putt, and I went up to them and shouted 'you've just killed a man!' 'I just wish I could have been a few moments earlier - that way this might not have happened.' Specialist officers brought a sniffer dog to the crime scene as they continue their search for evidence. A police spaniel was yesterday seen sniffing around a small area with police tape around it. The cordon was set up in a large clearing behind the beach, in front of a caravan park, with officers still at the scene yesterday. They have also covered a few areas of the scrap land behind Warden Bay Beach. Kent Police confirmed three arrests had been made following the man's death yesterday. In a statement, the force said: "Three arrests have been made following the death of a man in Leysdown-on-Sea on the Isle of Sheppey. "Kent Police was called to the Warden Bay Road area shortly after 7pm on August 10. "It was reported that an altercation broke out involving a small group of people and a man was assaulted, sustaining serious injuries. "Officers attended along with paramedics and a man in his 40s was confirmed deceased. His next of kin has been informed. "Detectives are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information that may assist the investigation, including CCTV or dashcam footage." 4
