Officers attended the address where the man, in his 30s, was pronounced dead.

A 61-year-old woman and two men aged 22 and 38 remain in custody on suspicion of murder.

'Heightened police presence'

Detective Inspector Rob Smith, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: "Officers have been given a Magistrates’ extension, which allows us extra time to detain three people in connection to our investigation.

"It is believed all those involved are known to each other, but we are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances surrounding this incident."

He added: "We are continuing to appeal for anyone with information which may assist our investigation, who has not yet spoken to officers, to please get in touch.

"We also urge people not to speculate on social media about the circumstances around this matter.

"Members of the public will see a heightened police presence in the area over the coming days as our inquiries continue."

Anyone with information that could help is urged to contact the force or alternatively independent charity, Crimestoppers.
