An area of Town Lane, Kimberworth Park, Rotherham, is cordoned off this morning as detectives probe the death of 34-year-old Craig Nelson, also known as Craig Preston, from Wath-upon-Dearne.

His body was found close to the Woodhead Tunnels, off the A628, near Sheffield, on Monday, August 22.

Five arrests were made earlier this week over the death.

A post mortem examination revealed Mr Nelson died of head injuries.

A South Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: “The Town Lane scene is related to the ongoing inquiry into the death of Craig Nelson.”
