Seven men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a man in North Lincolnshire.

Back in September 2022 44-year-old Ian Staves was found dead at his home in Wootton.

All seven have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and remain in our custody while enquiries continue.

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Alan Curtis said:

“The investigation into the tragic murder of Ian has been long and complex, and I would like to thank members of the public who have come forward with information following our appeals.

“Ian’s family have been informed of the arrests and we are continuing to support them at this difficult time.

“Our enquiries to identify the circumstances around Ian’s murder continue and we would ask anyone with further information to come forward."

Humberside Police said:

"Information can also be passed directly to the investigation team and will be dealt with in the strictest confidence through the Major Incident Public Portal or you can call us on 101, quoting log 210 of 12 September 2022."
