POLICE investigating the alleged killing of a Colchester man have arrested two more people, it emerged today.

Two men had already appeared at Colchester Magistrates' Court this morning in connection with the death of Graham Reeve.

Danny Howsego, 35, from Stanley Wooster Way in Colchester and 21-year-old Jon Williams, of no fixed address, were both charged with murder after the discovery of Mr Reeve's body.

The body of the 55-year-old was found in an empty property near his home in Charles Pell Road in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

However, Essex Police confirmed today they have arrested a 27-year-old Colchester woman about her involvement in the incident as well as a 17-year-old youth who was arrested yesterday.

At this stage officers have not confirmed what the pair have been arrested on suspicion of.

Police were contacted at around 11am on Monday by a member of the public who was concerned for the office administrator's welfare.

Officers visited his home - also on Charles Pell Road - but found nobody there.

However, further enquiries resulted in his body being found in an uninhabited flat nearby at around 2am the next day.

Howsego and Williams appeared in separate short hearings at Colchester Magistrates' Court and were both remanded in custody.

No pleas were entered and the case was adjourned to Chelmsford Crown Court in September.
