Police given more time to question murder suspect
It's after the body of a 17-year-old boy was found in Hull on Tuesday
Police have been given more time to question a murder suspect after the body of a teenager was found in Hull on Tuesday.
Searches of the River Hull are continuing for a second day after 17-year-old Connor Lyons was discovered dead in Ennerdale.
Detectives have since arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of murder, theft and assault.
A court has now given officers an extra 36 hours to question the man.
Detective Chief Inspector Rhod Troake, who is leading the investigation, said: “I would like to thank everyone who has come forward with information so far.
It’s very clear that Connor was popular and well regarded and our thoughts are with all those who knew and loved him. Our focus is to establish exactly what happened to Connor and to bring to justice anyone found to have had involvement in his death."
