Police have confirmed that the two people arrested in connection with ongoing searches at properties in Cirencester and Swindon were arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain on police bail until 26 October.

The investigation relates to an incident that did not take place recently.

In a statement, Gloucestershire Police said "While we cannot give further details at this time we can reassure the community that there is no threat to the wider public.

Officers are expected to remain on scene for a number of days while enquiries continue.
