Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was found in a house in Fleetwood in the early hours of this morning.

Officers were called to a house on Hatfield Avenue in the town at about 2am, where they discovered a man, believed to be in his 50s, with severe head injuries.

Two 24-year-old men and a 34-year-old man, all from Fleetwood, are now being questioned at Fleetwood Police Station, where a major incident room has been set up.

A post mortem investigation on the body is due to take place later today.
