A 44-year-old has been taken into custody after being arrested on suspicion of the murder of an elderly man in Glastonbury.

Frederick Burge, who was 89, was found dead in his home on George Street on Sunday 26th February.

Detective Inspector Neil Meade said: “We have updated Mr Burge’s family of today’s latest development and continue to support them through a family liaison officer.

“We’d like to thank the public who stopped and spoke with officers this weekend and would like to renew our appeal urging anyone with important information to come forward.”

Police have been in Glastonbury this weekend handing out leaflets and speaking to people in the town centre who they hope may have information that could be significant to our investigation.
