Two young men were today said to be stable in hospital after a fatal stabbing in Folkestone.

All others injured in the Monday night brawl, which saw one man stabbed to death, have now been released from hospital.

Five people arrested for murder yesterday are still being questioned.

They are all believed to be aged between 15 and 18.

The stabbing came after a fight broke out in Marine Terrace (see above. Picture: Max Hess), outside a flat where a party was being held.

Police say the disturbance involved two groups of Middle Eastern people.

The fight broke out at around 8.30pm when a group of men gathered outside the flat where a party was taking place. It involved the men and people from the party.

It is believed the one gang wanted to continue a dispute thought to have begun earlier in the month.

Two of the men involved are injured and three have life-threatening injuries.
