Three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder following the discovery of a body at a property in Brighton last week. Police were called to an address in North Street on Thursday (January, 2) afternoon to reports of concern for a person. Officers identified the body as 24-year-old Billy Henham from Henfield. An 18-year-old man from Greenwich, a 16-year-old boy of no fixed address, and a 26-year-old man from Hove have been released on conditional bail. The 18-year-old is on bail until January 28, the 16-year-old boy is on bail until January 27 and the 26-year-old man is on bail until January 29. DCI Mark Chapman said: "Our thoughts remain with Billy's family and friends at this difficult time. "We are continuing to conduct enquiries in the city centre and are appealing for any witnesses to come forward. "We would particularly like to hear from anyone who saw Billy on New Year's Eve in Brighton from about 6pm onwards." Superintendent Julia Pope said: "We have officers on patrol in the city and at the scene and anyone with concerns or any information can speak to them." Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting Operation Gatling.
