In just four days, there have already been several twists and turns in a fast-moving murder inquiry that was launched after a man’s body was found in a Bradford street.
Here, we summarise the main developments so far in chronological order
1 Body found
Police were called to Saffron Drive, Allerton, at 4.25am on Monday to reports of a man lying on the ground. Emergency services attended and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
2 Resident’s account
Resident Lilian Clarke, 78, said she found the man lying "totally naked" in the street after hearing noises outside her home.
3 Area searched
More than 24 hours after the body was found, police were still on the scene, with officers combing through hedges in Saffron Drive, and a block of nearby flats also remained cordoned off
4 Murder inquiry
On Tuesday afternoon, police confirm the death is being treated as a murder investigation. Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Mark Swift, reveals that information now suggests there were others involved in this man’s death, as he was found with “a number of injuries which suggest he may have been assaulted.”
5 Arrest made
On Tuesday, police revealed that a 34-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder
6 Dead man named
The dead man was named as 20-year-old Mohammead Feazan Ayaz, from Bradford, nicknamed Fizzy
7 Business park swoop
On Tuesday evening, police descend been on Denholme Business Park in a massive operation. Throughout Wednesday, forensics officers can be seen coming and going from the buildings.
8 Suspect released
At tea time on Wednesday, police reveal that the arrested 34-year-old had been released 'with no further action being taken’
9 Vehicle taken away
Just as police activity seemed to be calming down at Denholme Business Centre, a low-loader arrives. Tape is put across a vehicle’s registration plate and a cover is put over the top of the vehicle, seemingly to conceal its identity, before it is taken away
10 Family appeal
Late on Wednesday, the family of Mohammed Feazan Ayaz appealed for justice and urged the public to come forward with information
