Pair arrested over Southampton flat death

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a man was found at a flat in Southampton.

Police were called to Westridge Road, St Denys, on Friday afternoon. Hampshire Constabulary said there may have been an earlier "dispute".

A 26-year old man and a 35-year-old man, both from Southampton, are in police custody.

The identity of the dead man has not yet been confirmed and a post-mortem examination is due to be carried out.

Residents of the multi-occupancy property have been moved to temporary accommodation.

Det Ch Insp Nick Heelan appealed for witnesses.

He added: "We are following up several lines of inquiry. At this stage we believe this to be an isolated incident and that there is no risk to the wider community."
