Police have launched a murder investigation after a man was stabbed to death at an East Sussex holiday spot.

The 31-year-old was found dead from multiple stab wounds at Camber Sands Leisure Park at about 4am today.

Police descended on the seaside venue soon after the body was found by a worker outside a chalet.

A man from Lydd, Kent, was later arrested and was today being questioned by detectives at Hastings police station.

The identity of the dead man has not yet been released, although police confirmed he was a member of the holiday camp's staff and came from Folkestone.

A pile of burnt clothes was found on the beach near the popular holiday camp and the area was cordoned off.

A Home Office pathologist was due to carry out a post-mortem examination today.
