A MAN is being held on suspicion of murder this morning after a death in Southmoor.
A member of the public called police to a house in Laurel Drive at about 11.20pm and said someone had been injured, a police spokesman said.
Paramedics pronounced the man dead when they discovered him inside the home.
A 49-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Det Insp Phil Murphy said: “The inquiry is in its very early stages and the full circumstances surrounding the man’s death are now under investigation.
“However, it does appear that the victim and the suspect were known to each other and we are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this incident."
A cordon has been put up around the house while investigations continue.
