Murder investigation launched in Cambridge

Dear Resident,

Today, detectives have launched a murder investigation following the death of a man in his 50s in Chesterton Road, Cambridge.

Emergency services were called at around 1am this morning and the man was pronounced dead at 1.18am.

This morning police arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with the death and he remains in custody on suspicion of murder.

We understand this is likely to be concerning to the local community, but we believe it to be an isolated incident and we have extra patrols in the area.

We would appeal to anyone with information to come forward as a matter of urgency,

Anyone with information can contact us online and quote Operation Mendozza.

Kind Regards,

Detective Inspector Mark Butler
