This is the boarded up house at the centre of a triple murder enquiry by Cambridgeshire police.

Neighbours say the property was examined by forensic science officers after the house's owner Kevin Lee was found dead in a ditch at Newborough a few miles away. The 48 year old had been stabbed to death.

On Wednesday two more bodies were found in a ditch at Thorney near Peterborough. It's believed at least one of them lived at the house.

Cambridgeshire Police are questioning a man who's currently being held by West Mercia Police following two stabbings in Hereford on Tuesday.

Leslie Layton, who is also believed to have lived in the house, appeared before Peterborough magistrates charged with perverting the course of justice.

Two other men have also been arrested but were later bailed. A 30 year old woman who was wanted for questioning is currently being detained under the Mental Health Act.

Post Mortems on the bodies of the two men found at Thorney are being carried out today. Their names are also expected to be released today.
