Murder arrest after man found dead inside house

Police were called to the address in Newhaven Avenue after paramedics made the discovery

A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after another man was found dead inside a home in Mansfield Woodhouse.

Nottinghamshire Police officers were called to Newhaven Avenue at about 18:20 BST on Sunday after paramedics discovered the body of a man in his 50s.

A murder investigation was launched and the force said it believed the victim was injured following a disturbance in the street the night before.

Police have also arrested a 19-year-old woman and 76-year-old man on suspicion of assisting an offender, and the three suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues.

Det Ch Insp Ruby Burrow said: "Our sympathies remain with the victim's family and friends in the light of this tragic incident, and our specially trained officers will continue to support them.

"While our investigation is progressing, we are still urging anyone with information – no matter how insignificant it may seem – to get in touch with us without delay.

"I'd also like to take this time to reassure local residents that although this has likely caused a degree of local concern, we believe this is an isolated incident with no wider risk to the public."
