Warwickshire Police have made a fourth arrest after a man died inside a house in Kenilworth.

Along with paramedics, Warwickshire Police went to the house on Chestnut Avenue just before midnight on Friday night (20 March) after concerns were raised for the welfare of a man.

Sadly, the man in his 40s died shortly afterwards. His next of kin has been informed.

All four suspects, who are white British, remain in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Collette Okeefe said: “While I know this will cause shock in the local community, I’d like to reassure them there remains no risk to the wider public and we believe the incident was contained to the house.

“We’ve arrested four people in connection with the man’s death, and we’re continuing to question them as we try to work out exactly what happened.

“We’ll have officers in the area – carrying out further enquiries and providing reassurance – over the coming days, so if you have any questions, please speak to them.
