An East Sussex man has been charged with murdering two women more than 30 years ago.
David Fuller, from Heathfield, has been charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce in 1987.
The 66-year-old is due in court later today (Saturday). He has been remanded in custody until then.
The investigation is being led by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate.
Assistant Chief Constable Tracey Harman said:
"Whilst more than three decades have passed since these murders took place, I would urge anyone who has any information, no matter how minor or insignificant it may appear to be, to contact us."
Wendy Knell, who was 25, was discovered dead in her bedsit in Guildford Road, Tunbridge Wells on Tuesday 23 June 1987.
She had been sexually assaulted and beaten to death.
Five months later, on Tuesday 24 November 1987, Caroline Pierce, aged 20, was murdered after being attacked outside her bedsit home in Grosvenor Park, Tunbridge Wells.
Caroline was also suspected to have been sexually assaulted and her body was found the following month, on 15 December, in a field near St Mary in the Marsh, Romney Marsh.
David Fuller was arrested on Thursday (3), as More Radio previously reported.
He will appear before Medway Magistrates’ Court today (Saturday).
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Kent Police on 01622 652006 or quote case reference 46/YY/16746/20.
