Floral tributes have been left at a Wilmington beauty spot where a mother-of-four was found dead in a burnt-out car - less than two years after her partner was shot and killed in Dartford.

Kent Police launched a murder investigation after 26-year-old Donna Eastwood's body was discovered in Rowhill Road at 6.20am on October 18.

An area of the secluded, private road, near Kent Guide's Paxwood campsite, was cordoned off while forensic teams investigated.

Officers carried out house-to-house investigations and a police helicopter scoured the Wilmington and Hextable areas.

A 26-year-old man, who knew Miss Eastwood, was arrested on suspicion of murder at around 2.30pm on Sunday (October 19).

A resident of nearby Top Dartford Road, who asked not to be named, said: "The helicopter has been hovering over and there have been police and other cars going up and down.

"It's at the top end so I don't think anybody really knows what's gone on.

"There are some scary rumours going around though."

A police spokesman said: "Kent Police is treating the death of a woman, who police believe to be from the local area, as an isolated, targeted attack in which the offender and the victim knew each other.

"There is no information to suggest members of the public are in danger."

Miss Eastwood is believed to have been the former partner of 32-year-old Kevin McKinley who was killed with a 12-bore shotgun in Overy Street, Dartford in February last year.

Lewis Wickenden, aged 27, who lived with Ms Sargeant in Overy Street, was found guilty of assisting an offender by removing a 12-bore shotgun from the scene and possessing a weapon with intent to cause fear of violence.
