A 37-year-old man from Medway, who was arrested on suspicion of murder, was bailed until Friday, December 20.

He has now had his bail extended until Tuesday, March 17 and remains under investigation, police confirmed.

Another man, aged 42, was arrested and released without charge.

The circumstances surrounding the father-of-two's death is still unknown, but earlier this month, a coroner heard how Mr Sullivan died after being stabbed in the chest following an evening with friends.
