Cafe owner murder suspects freed

Andrew Cresswell was last seen the day before he was found murdered

Three men have been released after being questioned in connection with the murder of a cafe owner whose body was found at the business he owned in Kent.

The body of Andrew Cresswell, 51, from Pluckley, was found at Unit 2 on the Pivington Mill industrial estate, in Pluckley, early last Tuesday.

Police said the three local men were arrested on Friday and released on bail pending further inquiries.

Officers believe a weapon was used to kill Mr Cresswell.

In a fresh appeal on Friday, Det Ch Insp Maria Shepherd said Mr Cresswell was last seen on Monday afternoon.

Detectives want to speak to anyone who may have seen a suspicious vehicle or people near Pivington Mill, or who might have seen the murder victim on the day before he died.
