A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a man was found in the River Nene.

Conor Kinlan, 30, of no fixed address, was found in the river on Saturday last week. A search operation had been launched on Friday.

Police said they were treating his death as murder.

Today (January 30), a Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said: “A 19-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested last night on suspicion of murder and possession of a class B drug. He remains in custody at Parkside Police Station.

“Another 19-year-old man from Peterborough was also arrested last night on suspicion of assisting an offender. He remains in custody at Parkside Police Station.

“A 61-year-old man from Peterborough was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of assisting an offender. He has been released on bail to return to Thorpe Wood Police Station on 27 April.”

Officers were called to Pleasure Fair Meadow Road, near Town Bridge, at about noon on Friday following reports a man had been chased and entered the river.

Specialist dive teams were brought in and Conor’s body was recovered in the early hours of the following day.

Detective Chief Inspector Richard Stott, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “Detectives have been working hard since Friday to piece together how and why Conor ended up in the river, and we have multiple lines of enquiry which are being followed.

“Specialist officers are supporting his family, and there will be increased patrols in the area over the coming days.”
