Three children have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a man just a mile from Danny Dyers new reality TV caravan park.

A 16-year-old girl and two boys aged 14 and 15 were being questioned by detectives over the death of a man in his 40s who was assaulted during an altercation in a seaside village.

The incident happened in Leysdown-on-Sea on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, at 7pm on Sunday.

Police said the victim suffered serious injuries after trouble flared among a small group of people.

An air ambulance was scrambled but the man - who has not been named - was pronounced dead at the scene.

Holidaymakers alleged the victim was hit on the head with a concrete slab.

One eyewitness said they heard someone shout: Ive done him.

Moments later a man shouted: You havent just done him, youve f****** killed him.

Holidaymaker Jack Saunders, who saw the 999 chopper land, said: I thought it was the coastguard at first.

And then I saw a crowd of people up on the embankment and someone getting resuscitated.

The air ambulance never took off and then obviously as night fell it turned into a crime scene.

Forensics tents went up.

It was very sad and solemn.

There were a lot of people up there watching. Today weve come up here to pay our respects and lay some flowers.

Anton Jasnu, who owns a nearby shop, said he ran out to see if he could help when he saw someone receiving CPR on the beach of the village which has a population of around 1,000.

An eyewitness said there were about 100 bystanders when police arrived.

I saw the helicopter landing and a lot of police personnel trying to resuscitate someone, he said.

A police cordon was set up in a clearing behind the beach as officers deployed sniffer dogs and a drone.

The same stretch of sands were the scene of a previous murder when a 34-year-old caretaker was beaten to death by a gang in 2013.

Officers yesterday used a transporter to remove a silver VW Golf from the car park of the nearby The Warden Bay pub.

The bar nearly lost its licence in 2022 after a man suffered a serious head injury in an assault at a tribute music festival.

Police called for its operating status to be reviewed but it was allowed to stay open after a management change.

The murder scene lies around a mile from the Priory Hill Holiday Park where ex-EastEnders star Danny, 48, and his former Love Island champion daughter Dani, 29, have been filming a new TV show from the team behind Clarksons Farm.

The Dyers Caravan Park - which will show the father-and-daughter running the place - is set to be screened on Sky Max and NOW TV l later this year.

A Kent Police spokesman said: Three arrests have been made following the death of a man in Leysdown-on-Sea on the Isle of Sheppey.

Kent Police was called to the Warden Bay Road area shortly after 7pm on Sunday 10 August 2025.

It was reported that an altercation broke out involving a small group of people and a man was assaulted, sustaining serious injuries.

Officers attended along with paramedics and a man in his 40s was confirmed deceased.

His next of kin has been informed.

A short while later a 16-year-old girl and two boys aged 14 and 15 were arrested on suspicion of murder.
