New Appeal Over Danny King Murder

Police investigating the murder of a man, who was shot dead in bed at his Kent home, are renewing their appeal for information.

Danny King, 51, also known as 'Shep', was found dead after officers were called to his home at Medina Drive, Ditton near Aylesford, in the early hours of last Friday morning. He had been shot four times.

Detectives are asking people to contact the incident room if they saw anything or anyone acting suspicious on Thursday evening or the early hours of Friday, to come forward.

A dedicated team of officers are following a number of lines of inquiry, and are keeping an open mind as to the motive behind Mr King’s murder.

Overnight on Thursday officers investigating the murder carried out road checks in the area, and distributed leaflets.
