Police have made four arrested in connection with the death of a man in Cambridge Road in Plymouth on Monday 4th November.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and three women have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

Police say they're all local to the Plymouth area, and are currently in police custody.

Police cordons were put in place at the scene after officers were called at 2.30pm on Monday to a report of a stabbing.

A 36-year-old local man was confirmed deceased at the scene, and specialist officers continue to support his next of kin.

Force Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Steve Fleetwood said: “Following extensive enquiries we have made four arrests overnight in connection to the fatal incident and those individuals all remain in police custody this morning.

“A 42-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and three women aged 27, 38 and 40, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

“I can also confirm that we believe the suspects were known to the deceased man.”

DCI Fleetwood added: “Police cordons will be released today but officers from our Major Crime Investigation Team are continuing their enquiries, and the community will see an increased presence in the area throughout the day.

“I urge anyone with information which may assist our investigation, to please report it to us.”
