Police say four people have now been arrested in connection with the murder of a man in Illogan.

Officers were notified by the ambulance service just before 4.20am on Tuesday 12 November to reports of a man seriously injured at an address on Bosmeor Park.

The man in his 30s was pronounced dead at the scene, and his next of kin have been told.

Detective Inspector Rob Smith, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “It is believed all those involved are known to each other, but we are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances surrounding this incident.

“We are appealing for witnesses that could help us with our enquiries, so if there is anyone who has not yet spoken with our officers and has any information, CCTV, or doorbell footage from in and around the immediate area of Bosmeor Park, we would ask them to please get in touch.

“We would also urge people not to speculate on social media about the circumstances around this matter.

“In the meantime, members of the public will see a heightened police presence in the area over the coming days as our enquiries continue.”

Three people, a woman, aged 61 and two men aged 22 and 38, and all local to the area, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They currently remain in police custody.

A woman, aged 32, has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. She has been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
