A man from High Wycombe has been named as a suspect by Kent police after a migrant processing centre was firebombed on Sunday.

The 66-year-old was found dead at a petrol station near the migrant centre soon after the incident.

Police were called to The Viaduct in Dover on Sunday after two to three firebombs were thrown into the centre causing two people to receive minor injuries.

Further inspection by police also found another firebomb inside the suspect's car.

The processing centre has stayed open but around 700 migrants were relocated to Manston in Kent to ensure their safety.

Kent Police and Thames Valley Police are now searching a property in High Wycombe.
