A WOMAN in her 80s has been arrested after the body of man in his 60s was found inside a car - with another woman in her 50s taken in.

Cops made the grim discovery in Helston Business Park in Cornwall while probing "concerns for welfare" in the early hours yesterday.

Two women aged in their 50s and 80s, from Avon and Somerset, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The pair have also been arrested on suspicion of concealing a death and preventing a lawful burial.

Both women remain in custody while detectives probe the alleged murder.

The man, also from Avon and Somerset, was confirmed dead at the scene and his next of kin have been informed.

Detective Inspector Neil Blanchard said: "Enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident."

Blanchard added: ";At this time we are treating the man’s death as suspicious.

"We understand that any incident this serious in nature, will cause concern amongst the community.

"It is believed that the involved parties are known to each other and there is no wider risk to the public.

"You can expect to see an increased presence around the business park while our investigation continues."

Anyone with information which could help detectives is asked to call 101 quoting log 406 of 17 December.
