Police investigating a man's death have arrested a second murder suspect.

The 21-year-old man was detained on Friday evening in Shrewsbury. A 26-year-old man was held earlier in the day following the discovery of a 29-year-old man's body in a disused building near Shelton water tower.

Supt Jamie Dunn of West Mercia Police said: "I want to reassure residents that we believe there to be no wider risk to the public, and that those involved are believed to be known to one another."

The force said there would be an increased presence in the area as the investigation continued and to reassure the public.

Appealing for witnesses to come forward, Det Insp Jo Delahay said: "We are still in the early stages of our investigation, and we're working hard to piece together the circumstances that led to this tragic death."
