A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering pensioner Frederick Burge who was found dead at his Glastonbury home last week.
Mr Burge, 89, was discovered at his home address in George Street at around 12.30 pm on Sunday February 26. He was last seen walking his Jack Russell terrier along Northload Street and High Street the previous morning.
Two men have so far been arrested as part of the investigation. Both have today been released without charge.
Police have been in Glastonbury this weekend handing out leaflets, seeking witnesses and speaking to people in the town centre in the hope they may have information that could assist with the investigation.
