Detectives were given extra time to question the 29-year-old and have now charged him with murder, grievous bodily harm with intent, and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

He is accused of the murder of 54-year-old Joe, who died at the scene in Hectorage Road on Tuesday.

Murphy remains in custody and is due to appear at Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court today.

A 34-year-old man, believed to be the attacker's brother, Mark, also suffered knife wounds to his throat, upper arm and hand. He was flown to hospital in London.

A swarm of emergency services descended on the area which remained partially cordoned off on Wednesday while police investigated.

Eight police cars, three ambulances and two air ambulances, which landed at Hillview School, arrived in the street just after 7.30pm.

A white tent was erected around the terraced property and officers from the Serious Crime Directorate made house-to-house inquiries.

It is believed the trio involved lived together at the property.

The street remained a hive of police activity until just before 4pm on Wednesday when it was reopened.
