TWO further arrests have been made following the murder of a vulnerable man in his home.

A 39-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested on suspicion of murder and a 43-year-old man, also of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of murder and robbery today after reclusive Albert Williams, 67, was found dead at his home in Cedar Close, Southend, on August 8.

The pair have been taken into custody awaiting questioning. A 42-year-old man from Southend was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of murder and bailed until October 8 pending further enquiries.
