POLICE investigating a suspected murder are carrying out a detailed search of the scene.

They are looking for any evidence that could help them identify the person or persons responsible for the victim's death.

Officers in white forensic suits have spent most of the day scouring the ground for clues.

They could be seen looking under parked cars, examining the contents of wheelie bins and peering under a discarded mattress.

At one point they also started looking through other types of rubbish at the scene.

It comes after a 38-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder after a 30-year-old man died following a "disturbance" in the early hours.

Police were called to Cranbury Terrace just before 4am.

Residents have spoken of their shock after finding out a murder investigation has been launched.

However, police say the incident is not believed to pose any risk to the wider public.
