All six men are in police custody and being questioned on suspicion of murder.

“Our investigation continues at pace and I would like to thank the community for their support of this investigation thus far. I would like to ask the local community not to speculate, but if anybody has any information and have not yet contacted police, please do so by calling 101, quoting reference number 43200348281 or make a report online.
