Police have arrested two more men on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of Jason Betts.

The 38-year-old died in Southmead Hospital after being found unconscious at a flat on Celestine Road in Yate last Thursday. A post mortem examination found he'd died from a head injury.

Officers believe it was a targeted attack and believe he knew whoever was responsible.

A 30-year-old and a 28-year-old from North London were arrested at a property in Chelmsford, in Essex, on Monday evening.

Officers are due to transport the men to the Avon and Somerset Force area later today for questioning.

A 37-year-old man who was arrested at the weekend remains on police bail.
