Three women and seven men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a man was found in Blackpool.

Police were called to Caunce Street at about 10pm on Wednesday after the 31-year-old was found dead inside a property.

The body was discovered at an address just over a mile from Blackpool seafront, which is busy with tourists enjoying the Easter school holidays.

Lancashire police said: “His death is being treated as suspicious and a postmortem examination will be carried out to try to establish the exact cause.

“Three women and seven men, aged between 37 and 60 years old, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in custody.”
