POLICE investigating the murder of a man in a squat say five people were arrested.

Billy Henham was found dead in a building in North Street on January 2.

The 24-year-old had suffered a head injury, a pathologist found.

Officers closed off the building, opposite the Post and Telegraph Wetherspoons pub in Bond Street.

The scene is still closed off to the public.

Nearby shop owners said the building had been used as a squat and a site for music raves during the night.

It has been empty for a number of years.

This week, the police confirmed that five people who were arrested in connection with Mr Henham’s death have been released under investigation.

It includes four men aged 19, 18, 27 and 26 and a boy aged 16.
