Murder arrest after body found in canal
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a body was discovered in a canal in Sheffield. Police were called to Tinsley Canal, near Staniforth Road, in Darnall, at about 19:15 BST on Tuesday after the body of a 39-year-old man was found in the water. The death of the man was being treated as "unexplained", meanwhile a 35-year-old man who was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the incident remained in custody, a South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said. They added that the incident had been referred to the force's Professional Standards department and to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, as the 39-year-old had visited a police inquiry desk earlier on Tuesday. Officers asked anyone who had been on the stretch of canal towpath from Shirland Lane to Staniforth Road between 17:00 BST and 19:15 BST on Tuesday to get in touch.
