A man whose body was pulled from a river after his wife was shot dead outside a pub in Kent on Valentine’s Day has been formally identified.
Edward Smith, who also used the surname Stockings, was found in the River Thames in Rainham, Essex, on March 7, Kent Police said.
His car was found abandoned near the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Dartford in the hours after the shooting, and investigators believe he entered the water there.
