Detectives investigating the murder of a 19-year-old have arrested four more people.

Ben Procter was found collapsed with a serious head injury in Wellington Street, Peterborough, on 15 September. He died a day later.

A 23-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested on suspicion of murder and for possessing a bladed article.

Cambridge Police also confirmed three men - aged 28 from Margate, Kent, 35 from Netherton, Dudley, and 36 of no fixed abode but from the West Midlands - were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All four men were being held in custody in Staffordshire.

Last week, Ako Mohammad, 33, of Lincoln Road, Peterborough, was charged with Mr Procter's murder. He was remanded and is due to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on 18 October.

A post-mortem examination was inconclusive, with further tests pending.

Police said the investigation was ongoing and the force appealed for dashcam and CCTV footage of the Wellington Street, Star Road, Boongate and First Drove areas from 22:00 BST on 15 September.
