Early morning dog walkers in Tunbridge Wells were stunned after a body was discovered in Dunorlan Park on Thursday.
Kent Police were alerted just before 5am and quickly launched a full investigation. The grim find sparked a major police response in the usually peaceful park.
A local couple, who walk their dog every morning, told reporters the entrance on Pembury Road was sealed with police tape. A blue and white tent was pitched near the boating lake, adding to the eerie scene.
An unnamed witness said, “It was pretty unnerving. I saw three officers carrying a tent and poles down to the lake. Normally, I’m out early with the dog, but this morning the area was all taped off with police cars and a forensic van parked nearby.”
The police cordon was lifted shortly before 10.30am, but details about the victim or cause of death remain under wraps. Kent Police have been contacted for further comment.
