A tragic incident occurred on Saturday morning at a property in Mill Lane, located in the quaint village of Hambrook. A man in his 90s was discovered deceased, prompting a murder investigation to be launched by Avon and Somerset Police.

Authorities were alerted to the scene just before 9:55am, where they made a startling discovery. A man in his 60s was promptly arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently being held in police custody. It is believed that the two individuals involved were acquainted with each other and that this was not a random act of violence.

While the formal identification process is still underway, police have notified the victim's next of kin and believe him to be the elderly man in his 90s. Neighbors were left shaken by the news, with Chief Inspector Steph McKenna expressing her condolences to the victim's family during this difficult time.

As the investigation is still in its early stages, authorities are urging the public not to jump to conclusions. The Major Crime Investigation Team will be leading the case, determined to uncover the truth behind this tragic event. Chief Inspector McKenna assures the community that there is no cause for concern, but as a precaution, there will be an increased police presence in the area while the investigation continues.

In the meantime, officers and PCSOs will be conducting visible patrols to provide reassurance to the community. If anyone has any concerns, they are encouraged to approach the authorities on patrol who will gladly assist in any way possible.
