Cambridgeshire shootings: Three arrested after two men shot dead in ‘targeted’ attacks

Three people have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder following the shooting of two men in Cambridgeshire.

Police were called to a property in Meridian Close, Bluntisham, at just after 9pm yesterday with reports of gunshots.

Officers arrived to find the body of a 32-year-old man inside a property with a gunshot wound and are now treating his death as murder.

Then at 9.37pm, police received a call from a person in Sutton, near Ely, again reporting hearing gunshots.

Sarah Lown, who also lives near to the houses sealed off by murder detectives in Sutton, Cambridgeshire, said she heard three loud bangs on Wednesday evening.

“I didn’t know it was gunshots at the time,” the 38-year-old designer said.

The body of a 57-year-old man was found at a property in The Row with gunshot wounds and his death is also being treated as murder.

A 27-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were arrested in the early hours of today in Cambridge, while a 66-year-old man was arrested in the Worcester area.

All three were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
