Man held over suspected murder at charity hub
BBCA man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man in his 40s was found dead at a centre supporting homeless people and those with drug and alcohol issues.
Merseyside Police said the man died at You Matter - formerly the YMCA - on Leeds Street in Liverpool at about 03:50 BST. A post-mortem examination is due to take place.
A force spokeswoman said: "A 55-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and he is in police custody to be questioned.
"Officers remain at the scene as inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident."
You Matter became independent of the YMCA - which operated in the city for 180 years - earlier this year after saying it "became clear the name no longer reflected who we are".
It offers support to those affected by homelessness, drugs and alcohol, mental health issues and domestic abuse.
You Matter has been approached for comment.
