- A 21-year-old local man was arrested shortly after the incident and officers say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack.
- Officers cordoned the scene, carried out forensic examinations and increased patrols while the murder investigation continues, and Kent Police gave reference 46/139262/26 and the number 01843 222289 for witness information.
- Ramsgate mayor Cllr Raushan Ara and local councillors have urged stronger policing and a coordinated multi-agency response to rising antisocial behaviour and knife crime in the town.
