Missing man may have been murdered, police say
Cheshire PoliceDetectives believe a man reported missing more than four months ago may have been murdered.
Martin Conway, 39, was last seen overnight between Sunday 1 February into Monday 2 February in Chester city centre.
Cheshire Police said although no body had been found, an investigation into his disappearance revealed Conway may have "come to harm".
Two men and two women from the Cheshire area have been arrested on suspicion of murder, the force said.
Conway, from Ellesmere Port, was wearing a black coat with a fur-lined hood, grey jogging bottoms or black leggings and white trainers when he was last seen.
He is described as 5ft 7in tall, of a slim build, with light brown hair and blue eyes.
'Nothing too small'
A 23-year-old man and a woman, 47, both from Chester, are in custody being questioned on suspicion of murder.
A 37-year-old man from Northwich and a 35-year-old woman from Winsford had been arrested but have since been released on bail pending further investigation.
Det Insp Andrea Price said: "Martin was last seen over four months ago, and during that time we have been following multiple lines of enquiries in an effort to trace him. We now believe he may have come to harm.
"Following an extensive investigation, we have now arrested four people in relation to his disappearance who are assisting us with our enquiries.
"We would continue to appeal for anyone with any information as to Martin's disappearance to please contact us – no amount of information is too small."
