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.
