They're currently in custody
Essex police have arrested three men in connection with the death of a man who was found in a car park on Canvey Island.
The man in his 40s was found seriously injured in an Iceland car park on Furtherwick Road at around 1.45am on Saturday. He later died.
Officers have now confirmed that, yesterday, a 24 year-old man from Croydon, a 28 year-old man from Beckton, and a 58 year-old man of no fixed address, were arrested on suspicion of murder.
Police are still appealing for information.
DI Kev Hughes from the Serious Crime Directorate says, "Our investigation continues to make good progress, but I still need people with information to come forward.
“In particular I need anyone who was in The Haystack pub on Friday night into Saturday morning, who hasn’t already spoken to us, to come forward.
“There were people in the pub before the assault took place and some who had gone outside at the time it happened."
Anyone who saw anything is still encouraged to contact Essex Police on 101, quoting reference 42/21102/23.
