As part of our enquiries, we have arrested a 60-year-old and 35-year-old man, both from Totton, on suspicion of murder. Both men remain in custody at this time.

“We are also looking for the driver of a grey/silver Nissan Juke, which was seen driving down Bernard Street at the time of the incident as they may also have witnessed something.
