Two arrested in Blackpool murder investigation
Kevin Price, 59, was found dead at a hotel in the resort on Sunday
Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder, after a man was found dead in a hotel in Blackpool on Sunday (10th November).
Police attended the Garfield Hotel on Springfield Road following a concern-for-welfare call.
Detectives say it's being treated as a homicide, and a post-mortem examination shows Kevin Price, 59, died as a result of stab wounds.
It's thought he lived at the property.
A 50-year-old man and 38-year-old woman, both from Blackpool, remain in custody, but Lancashire Police say their investigation is ongoing.
Det Chief Insp Simon Pritchard, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “My thoughts remain with Kevin’s loved ones at this time. His family have been told of the latest developments.
“While we have now made two arrests our enquiries are very much ongoing, and I would appeal to anyone who can help to get in touch.
“I am still keen to hear from anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity around The Garfield Hotel on Springfield Road between Thursday last week and Sunday. Please come and speak to us if you have any information at all as what you know could help us piece together the events that led to Kevin’s tragic death.”
