A 29-year-old man suspected of shooting dead a 36-year-old woman during a stand-off with police has died in hospital.

The force spokesman added: "An investigation into both deaths will now be led by the coroner.After being called to the home at 12.40pm, police cordoned off Priory Road and told people to stay inside their homes. Officers then broke through the terraced home's front door, witnesses said.

After an hour-long stand-off, "pandemonium" broke out and neighbours heard what sounded like two rounds of gunshots. One woman, who did not want to be named, described events as "chilling". Kent Police made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct because police were at the scene at the time of the injuries.

An IOPC spokesman said it was assessing the referral from Kent Police to determine whether any further action is needed by the watchdog.
