A man in his twenties has been arrested after a woman in her eighties was found dead in a house in Tunbridge Wells.

Both were found to have suffered stab wounds. The man was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

It is assumed that the two know each other.

The man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder.

Kent Police are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the incident; officers remain at the scene.
