Yesterday, the Devon and Cornwall Police announced that they had launched a murder investigation after the body of a man in his 60s was found in a car in Helston Business Park. The man was from the Avon and Somerset area. Police uncovered the body on Wednesday after receiving calls of concern for his welfare. Two women, both from Avon and Somerset and aged in their 50s and 80s, have been arrested on suspicion of murder, concealing a death, and preventing a lawful burial. Law enforcement stated that they believe the people involved knew each other, and there is no wider risk to the public.
The man’s body was found by officers while they were making inquiries in the Helston area in the early hours of Wednesday. The women remain in police custody, and officers have increased their presence around the business park as the investigation continues. Detective Inspector Neil Blanchard from the Major Crime Investigation Team said anyone with information related to the incident should get in touch with the authorities.
The nature of the relationship between the man and the two arrested women is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing. Regardless, this is a shocking event and has shocked both the local community and people at large. It is devastating to know that something like this has happened and to know that a human life was lost.

Meanwhile, we extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones in this time of grief.
This incident highlights the increasing need for police to be vigilant in the community, and for members of the public to report any concerns they may have about their neighbours and others. It is essential that we all play our part in ensuring our communities are safe for all people. This tragic event highlights the importance of being vigilant and taking quick action when we suspect that something may not be right
