Google MapsA further two people have been arrested in connection with a murder investigation following the death of a prison inmate.
Krishan Rawal, 28, died at Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, on 27 January, after an attack at HMP Highpoint in Suffolk.
Suffolk Police arrested three other inmates on suspicion of murder before questioning them and then returning them to the prison.
The force has now said another two prisoners - a man in his 40s and a man in his 30s - have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
They were questioned at Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre before being returned to the category C men's prison, near Haverhill, pending further investigation.
"Suffolk Police continues to work closely with HMP Highpoint to establish the full circumstances of the incident," a spokesperson said.
The inmate, from London, was first treated at the hospital on 23 January, having suffered a wound near his right armpit.
He was returned to the prison, which has about 1,300 inmates, before then being readmitted to hospital four days later.
Detectives were then called to the hospital at 11:11 GMT on 27 January following his death.
Over a period of about a week they arrested a man in his 20s, a man in his 30s and a man his 20s, all on suspicion of murder.
They remain under investigation.
A Home Office post-mortem examination took place on Friday, 30 January and concluded further investigations were needed to confirm the cause of death.
