Three people are in custody following the discovery of a man's body in Coventry.
The arrests include a man and woman in their 40s, and a man in his 20s, all held in Blackpool on suspicion of murder and assisting an offender.

The deceased is believed to be a man aged between 40 and 50, and investigations are ongoing to confirm his identity and determine the cause of death.
