The suspect’s body was discovered in Higham woodland at about 9am yesterday (Wednesday).

It is understood the man, believed to be Zimbabwean, fled the Irish Republic after Rudo Maware was found in a travel bag on Sunday.

He is yet to be formally identified and all his family are still to be informed.

Kent Police are working with The Garda in the Republic of Ireland in a bid to confirm it is the same man wanted for the death in Ireland.

The 26-year-old’s body was found by a passer-by in Dublin on Sunday morning.
