Dover migrant centre arsonist found dead nearby as police confirm attack details

A man who hurled petrol bombs at a migrant centre has been found dead at a nearby petrol station, police confirmed this evening.

The suspect was "very quickly located" after two to three incendiary devices caused a fire at a Border Force centre in Dover earlier today, said Kent Police.

Two people who were inside suffered minor injuries and the site remained open, although 700 people were initially moved to Manston asylum processing centre for safety reasons, added the force.
