TWO men who were being questioned by detectives as part of a murder investigation in Folkestone have been released on police bail.

Both men live in the Folkestone area. One is aged 35 and the other 41. They have been released while detectives continue their inquiries.

Their release comes after a 36-year-old Folkestone man was discharged from police custody last Thursday after being held by officers for two days as part of the investigation.

The murder victim, Derek Saxby, 68, of London Street Folkestone, died from a stab wound. His body was found on Monday, November 15.

Mr Saxby lived in a home run by a charity called the Carr-Gomm Society. This gives housing and support to people with learning, physical or mental health disabilities.
