Police believe a dangerous ecstasy pill linked to the deaths of three men in Suffolk could now be available in Cambridgeshire.

The tablets are red and triangular with a Superman-style logo on them.

Officers are linking the deaths of two men in Ipswich on Christmas Eve and New Year's Day to the tablets.

The death of a third man in Rendlesham, Suffolk, is also being investigated.

"We do not know how many are still in circulation, so I urge people not to take these drugs and anyone in possession of them to hand them in to police or partner agencies."
