A triple murder suspect being currently being quizzed by police is thought to have links with Kent.

Alexander Lewis-Ranwell, 27, was arrested on Tuesday after three elderly men were found dead in their homes in Exeter.

Described as "unprecedented" by Devon and Cornwall police, the deaths of twins Dick and Roger Carter, 84, and Anthony Payne, 80, are being treated as suspected serial killings.

According to The Times, suspect Lewis-Ranwell moved to the West Country from Sevenoaks in 2004.

It is believed he attended Sevenoaks Preparatory School.

Post-mortem examinations of the three victims prove they each sustained serious head injuries.

Police have until later on this evening to either charge or release Lewis-Ranwell.
