A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man's body was found inside a van parked in Leicester city centre.
Leicestershire Police were called to the car park in Garden Street at around 5.30pm on Wednesday after a member of the public reported a concern about the condition of the vehicle.
Officers then forced entry to the Ford Transit van, and the body of the man was found inside.
The force said that inquiries to locate the man's next of kin were under way.
After identifying the address of the registered keeper of the van, a 39-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murder at an address in Hounslow. She remains in custody.
An investigation to establish the circumstances that led to the man’s death is continuing.
Det Insp Kev Hames, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit’s major crime team, said: "I’d like to speak to anyone who can help with our investigation.
"The man was found in a white Ford Transit with the registration BF18 VNV. Officers are appealing for anyone who may have seen this van in Garden Street or other parts of Leicester and Leicestershire to get in touch.
"This includes anyone who may have seen the van where they live or work to get in touch. I’d like to extend this appeal to anyone who may have captured its movements on CCTV or a dashcam."
