A SIDCUP building company manager has drowned while on holiday with his family in Italy, according to reports.

Brian Kent is said to have gone for a post-lunch swim in the sea by the resort town of Sperlonga on Friday (May 17) but got into difficulty in rough waters.

It is thought the Construction Commercial Services Ltd managing director was pulled clear by police but died at the scene.

His family are said to have returned to the country yesterday.
