Jacob Cloke, 29, died yesterday after sustaining 'critical' gunshot injuries at a home in Dartford, Kent, where he took Hayley Burke hostage. Ms Burke, 36, was shot during a stand-off with armed officers and police negotiators at her house, on Saturday afternoon and died in hospital two days later. Police were treating Cloke as the main suspect in the murder of Ms Burke, who friends described as 'the loudest friend in the group'. Yesterday, a man was charged after allegedly being found with a revolver said to be linked to the murder of a mother-of-two who was taken hostage in her home. Hayley Burke died in hospital on Monday evening after she was shot on Saturday afternoon Police officers in Dartford last Saturday after the mother-of-two was rushed to hospital Witnesses said after a stand-off, which lasted about an hour, 'pandemonium' broke out and said the woman had been 'held hostage' by a man at the back of the property. A woman who lives near where the hostage situation took place described the scene as like a terror attack. She said: 'After many hours talking between the police and a man, I heard loud gun shot sounds and what seemed like six gun-shot sounds. 'The scene was horrific. I have never seen anything like it around here. I thought it must be terrorist-related.' She then discovered a double-glazed window had been shattered in a bedroom of her house and a 'bullet' was wedged inside the outer and inner pane. The woman added: 'I stayed inside all day, as I was too frightened to go outside in the situation. 'It went on for hours. And then at about 4.30pm we saw a woman being given CPR outside a garage. We still had no idea what was going on.' Ms Burke was taken to a hospital in London after suffering from shots from a handgun The incident happened while millions of television viewers were watching King Charles III's Coronation take place 16 miles away at Westminster Abbey. One of Ms Burke's friends told KentLive: 'Hayley was the loudest friend in the group and never failed to have everyone laughing. 'Hayley loved her children with every inch of her heart. Everything she did was for her boys – they were her life. 'Hayley would do anything for anybody but wasn't afraid to tell you if you took the mick. She was so brutally honest – it was one of her best character traits. 'If you wanted an honest opinion you would always ask Hayley. Her space in our lives will never be filled. She didn't deserve any of this. She had so much love and life to give.' One of Ms Burke's friends paid tribute, saying she was 'the loudest friend in the group' Ms Burke died in hospital after she was shot while police engaged in a stand-off in Dartford One couple who knew Ms Burke described her as a 'lovely woman'. The 46-year-old father, who did not want to be named, said: 'She used to work at my kid's school years ago. 'I've known her for years. She was a beautiful looking girl. It's awful, especially on our doorstep, it scared a lot of people around here. But it's terrible, this area has gone right downhill.' And the mother, who said her children were outside when it happened, added: 'My son, 14 years old, recognised her and said "she really helped me". She always helped him and was never rude.' Another neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said he had just come back from the Coronation in the capital to find the road blocked off. He told KentLive: 'I couldn't get down from that end, and I went down to that end, and then I heard the shots, and police were telling everyone to get behind the walls. It was worrying' 'It was worrying because I hadn't heard what was going on. I just heard rumours from the neighbours. I just heard that someone died.' An investigation into both deaths is now being led by the coroner. All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
