A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a Southampton dad of four.

Hampshire police have arrested 23-year-old Kevin Suika on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to supply class A drugs, following the death of Michael Freshwater.

Michael was found dead at a house in Westridge Road, Southampton on Friday, April 29 – three months ago today.

Police had launched a new appeal to try and track down the 23-year-old, who they have been hunting since May.

A £10,000 reward was offered by Crimestoppers for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the culprits.

Police have withdrawn the appeal to help find Kevin Suika from their official website.
