A man who died, after suffering stab wounds in Hull, has been named by detectives.
Emergency services were sent to Arundel Close on Wednesday (19th June), to reports of a man with stab wounds.
David Hunt, 45, was taken to hospital, where he died a short time later.
Detectives say his family is being supported by specialist officers.
Two men, aged 47 and 44, and a woman, aged 39, were arrested at the scene, police added.
The 47-year-old man remains in police custody, whilst the 44-year-old man and the 39-year-old woman have since been released on bail.
Another man, arrested on Thursday, has also been bailed.
In the early hours of Friday 21st June, officers arrested two men, aged 20 and 46, and a woman, aged 33, in the West Yorkshire area. They remain in custody.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Jayne Goodens said: “Since we received the report, detectives have been conducting extensive lines of enquiries, including house to house and trawling CCTV footage in and around the area to obtain a clear picture of what has happened and the events leading up to the incident.
“Whilst we are still in the early stages of our investigations, I hope the news of a further four arrests reassures members of the public that we are treating this as a priority.
“A scene guard remains in place at the property and locals to the area can expect to see a police presence over the weekend whilst officers carry out further enquiries into what we believe to be an incident between individuals known to each other.
“We are exploring a number of avenues of investigation, and we would encourage anybody who has any concerns to please come and speak to us."
Officers also want anyone with information to contact them.
