A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering 83-year-old Peter Wrighton.
The man, in his 20s, was arrested this morning by detectives probing the death of Mr Wrighton, whose body was found in woodland near East Harling a week ago today.
Police said the man they have taken into custody is from the local area.
A Home Office post mortem examination concluded Mr Wrighton, from Banham, died as a result of multiple stab wounds to his neck and head.
He was describing by family as “a lovely, gentle husband, dad and grandfather”.
They said he had a “kind nature” and spoke of his “love of walking dogs and chatting with people to pass the time of day”.
