Four other men were arrested in March on suspicion of Mr Dyson's murder and were also released under investigation.

Three men, aged 43, 51 and 68, all from Barnsley, and a 67-year-old man from Rotherham, were arrested on suspicion of his murder in March and later released under investigation while inquiries continued.
