Two brothers and a woman were arrested last night on suspicion of attacking a mother with acid. 

Billy and Geoffrey Midmore, who have links to Old Malden’s Sheephouse Way, were detained in Gillingham along with a 33-year-old woman.

The arrests, which were made at Wollaston Close in Rainham at about 10.50pm, came just after a £5,000 reward was offered for details leading to the arrest of the brothers.
