Four people are being questioned over the man's death at a property in Kenilworth

A 72-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the death of a man at a house in Kenilworth, Warwickshire.

She is being questioned on suspicion of assisting an offender, with three other people arrested on Sunday continuing to be held on suspicion of murder.

Emergency services were called to the property on Chestnut Avenue on Friday just before midnight, where a man was found in cardiac arrest and later died.

The woman along with a 24-year-old man, another woman, 49, and a 16-year-old boy remained in custody, Warwickshire Police said.

"While I know this will cause shock in the local community, I'd like to reassure them there remains no risk to the wider public and we believe the incident was contained to the house," said Det Ch Insp Collette O'Keefe.

"We've arrested four people in connection with the man's death, and we're continuing to question them as we try to work out exactly what happened."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Warwickshire Police.
