Cambridgeshire: Arrests after men shot dead in 'targeted' attacks (BBC News)

Police begin two murder investigations after two men are killed in separate Cambridgeshire villages.

You can also get in touch in the following ways: Do you live in the area? Please include your name, age and location with any submission. Are you an eyewitness? "I've lived in the area 20-odd years and nothing like that has ever happened so it was a very strange thing to wake up to." "I went outside and there was nobody there which I thought was strange," he said. Residents told the BBC Meridian Close was a "very quiet" street and not the sort of area they would expect something like this to happen. "We believe that the vehicle was circulating in the Bluntisham and Sutton areas yesterday and we need to identify what time it came into the area," Mr Hutchinson said. Martin Crowhurst, 75, who has lived in Bluntisham for 17 years, said: "For a village like this and in a community like this I find it astounding because it's so quiet. The incident appeared to be related to a "familial issue", he said, and he confirmed a "custody battle" was "an active line of inquiry". A 27-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were detained at a hotel just outside Cambridge in the early hours of Thursday, while a 66-year-old man was arrested in the Worcester area. Three people have been arrested after a father and son were shot dead in what police say were "targeted" attacks in villages in Cambridgeshire.
