The public are asked not to speculate on the circumstances of the man’s death
A man’s body has been found in Banbury’s Jubilee Court. Thames Valley Police were called to an incident at around 5.15pm yesterday (Monday).
Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder but police say that at present the death is being treated as unexplained. They are asking the public not to speculate on the circumstances of the man’s death.
Two men, aged 48 and 50 years-old; and a woman aged 42, who are all from Banbury, are currently in police custody.
An investigation into the circumstances of the man’s death has begun.
Members of the public have told Banbury FM there has been a large police presence in the area since Monday afternoon.
Detective Inspector Nick Hind said: “We are in the very early stages of this investigation, and although we have made three arrests, I would urge the public not to speculate on the circumstances of the man’s death, which is being treated as unexplained at this time.
“You will see an increase of officers in the area and there is currently a scene-watch in place at the location, which will be in place for some time while our investigation continues.
“Although the death is being treated as unexplained, we do not believe there to be any danger to the local community, and we are conducting a full and thorough investigation to ascertain the full circumstances of this tragic incident.”
“If anybody has any concerns, you can address these with any officers at the scene.
“Similarly, if you have any information about the incident, you can contact Thames Valley Police either online or by calling 101, quoting incident reference 43230212578.
“The man’s next of kin have been made aware and our thoughts are with them.”
