TWO men have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a man whose decapitated body was discovered in a park in Rednal.

Julian Sanders's body was discovered five months ago by a man walking his dog in Cofton Park. His head was yards away from his body.

The suspects, aged 30 and 49, were arrested by officers on Monday who swooped on two houses in Shrewsbury, the town where the victim lived.

West Midlands police confirmed the men had been brought to a station in the area to be quizzed.

The arrests were made by officers from the Julian Sanders Murder Incident Room.
