Essex Police have arrested two people in connection with the murder of a man who was found with serious injuries in a car park in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. The victim, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital on Monday, June 22, and died four days later.
Arrests made
A 24-year-old man was detained on Friday, and a 17-year-old boy was arrested on Saturday, both from London. They have been released on bail pending further investigations, Essex Police confirmed in a statement.

He added: "At the heart of this investigation is a man whose family continue to grieve for him, and they continue to be supported by our specialist liaison officers."
