An eleventh person has been arrested as police continue to investigate the murders of two men in Coventry six years ago.

33-year-old Johnny Robbins disappeared on 21 March 2018 and West Midlands Police believe he was tortured and murdered.

His body has never been found.

Johnny’s death is linked to the murder of Daniel Shaw, who was found with gunshot injuries to his chest in Copland Place in the Tile Hill area on 25 March, 2018.

Earlier this month, six men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, while two women and two men were held on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Last week a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All of those arrested have been released whilst police enquiries continue.

Deputy Senior Investigating Officer Jenny Birch said: “We are absolutely committed to establishing the truth behind what happened to Johnny and Daniel.

“Six years have passed, and allegiances change. Do the right thing, and pick up the phone and tell us what you know.”

As police continue their investigation, they say they are still keen on information surrounding the whereabouts of Ryan Hobday, who was 28 in 2018, as he is wanted in connection with the murders.

Police believe he may have also been murdered.
