An 18-year-old man has appeared in court charged in connection with a shooting incident in Dover on Monday.

Antoine Anicotte, of Salisbury Road, Dover, is accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

He appeared before Channel Magistrates at Folkestone on Wednesday, January 19, and was remanded in custody to appear at the Crown Court on January 31.
