Kent soldier stabbing: Inside ‘quiet community’ reeling after horror attack near barracks
As a soldier remains in a serious condition after being stabbed near a Kent army barracks, a community in Gillingham reels following a rare case of severe violence in a usually quiet community
A quiet and “safe” community with a “massive veteran community” is reeling after the stabbing of a soldier near an army barracks.
The victim, in his 40s, is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after he was stabbed multiple times while wearing a camouflage uniform, Kent Police said. A 24-year-old has been arrested and remains in custody following the attack near Sally Port Gardens, Gillingham – where residents have expressed their shock at the awful events.
Alex Reynolds has been living in the area for three years, and could scarcely believe what had happened right “on our doorstep”. He said: “We hear about Medway not being a nice area but this is one of the nicest areas in the Medway area – so you think nothing like this would happen.”
Amanda Abbington states point blank what she wants from BBC as Strictly drama spirals
Amanda Abbington has made it clear she wants no harm to come to Giovanni Pernice and Strictly Come Dancing.
During an emotional interview with Christine Lampard on the set of ITV’s Lorraine this Thursday, the former contestant of the BBC One show recalled her troubling and traumatic five weeks in the dancing competition.
Targeted by a wave of backlash from Strictly and Giovanni fans over her claims, as she exposed the dancer for his “abusive” behaviour behind the scenes, Amanda made it clear she had no intention of causing any harm to the popular programme or its under-fire stars.
