A teenage girl appeared in court this week after a man was stabbed to death in the early hours on a quiet cul-de-sac.
Emergency services descended on Southfields Way in Harrietsham, Kent, at around 1.30am on Tuesday, July 2, to reports that a man had been seriously assaulted outside a house. The 25-year-old, now named as Jack Cadwallader, was rushed to hospital but despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was later confirmed dead.
Officers later arrested a man and a women, who were both known to Jack, and took them into custody. The woman, a 19-year-old, was charged by Kent Police and named as Paige Poulton. The teen appeared at Maidstone Crown Court on Friday, July 5, charged with murder. She appeared in the dock where she wore a grey jumper, spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address. Poulton was remanded into custody before appearing at the same court again on July 3, reports Kent Online.
Tributes have since poured in for Jack after his brutal death. One person wrote on Facebook: “One person said: “I cant believe I am writing this RIP Jack Cadwallader. I had the best times ever with you. U were my bestie. Love you mate xxxxxxx so so sad.”
Another friend posted: “Rip Jack Cadwallader. This was unexpected. Sending love to all the family. Deepest condolences x”. Another person said: “Rip Jack, you were loved by many and will be missed, always remember year 1-5 in little school me and you were inseparable. Till we meet again fella, fly high.”
A spokesperson for Kent Police said: “Ms Poulton, 19, of Southey Road, Haringey, London will appear before Margate Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 3 July. An investigation is being led by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate and a man who was also arrested has now been released without charge.”
