THREE teens have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found dead following an “altercation”.
Emergency services were rushed to a home in Nuneaton, Warwickshire this morning and tragically found the body of a 36-year-old man.
Police believe the man’s death is related to an altercation that occurred the night before, 10 minutes away at Snowhill Recreation Ground.
Two 15-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of murder and a schoolgirl, also 15, was also arrested this evening.
The three teens remain in police custody.
An altercation is said to have broken out at the sports ground around 6.15pm yesterday.
Cops are now urging witnesses, or people with footage of any form, to come forward.
Warwickshire Police Detective Inspector Collette O’Keefe said: “We would ask anyone with information to get in touch with us as soon as possible.
“Though we believe this to be an isolated incident, with no threat to the wider public, residents can expect to see a heightened police presence in the area for their reassurance.
“We are aware there is footage circulating of the altercation on social media and we would ask people not to share it while we continue our ongoing investigation to work out the circumstances behind this man’s death.
“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man at this sad time.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, citing incident 90 of April 26.
