A man whose death sparked a murder probe has been formally identified by police as another arrest is made. 

Andrew Ballantyne, 55, died in Micklefield Road on Saturday despite the best efforts of police and paramedics. 

A Home Office post-mortem examination was inconclusive with the cause of death unascertained awaiting further testing.

A third man has been arrested on suspicion of murder this week. 

The 25-year-old from High Wycombe is in police custody. Two other men, aged 25 and 27, both from High Wycombe, have previously been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The 27 year old male has been released under investigation for the murder and on bail for drugs offence. The 25-year-old is also still in police custody.
