Three people who were arrested on suspicion of murdering a Chatham man have all had their bail extended again until just before Christmas.

Police launched a murder investigation after Steve Berry, 59, was found dead in his flat in Kinross Close, Princes Park, in July.

His neighbour, Graham Fitzgerald, 47, was arrested shortly after the discovery and has since spoken out to declare his innocence.

Mr Fitzgerald has now had his bail extended until December 23, as has a 27-year-old woman, of no fixed address, and a 29-year-old Rochester man.

Police have not yet made any other arrests and are still keen to speak to anyone who may have information about it.

In October, a fourth person, a 29-year-old from Chatham, who was also arrested on suspicion of murder, was released without charge.
