A man in his 30’s has been killed after being stabbed at the Cricketers Inn at Meopham on Saturday night. Another man is in a stable condition in hospital after being stabbed multiple times.
The incident happened at 9.15pm on Saturday night at the pub just off the cricket green. Kent Police arrived on the scene quickly and two men, 29 and 50, were later arrested on suspicion of murder.
