Three men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man's body was found in a car park.
Essex Police confirmed the body was found at St Mary's car park in Balkerne Hill, Colchester, yesterday morning.
The men arrested, aged 47, 45 and 32 and the 46-year-old woman remain in custody.
Officers are urging for people to come forward with any information after they launched a murder investigation yesterday.
The car park is closed but people can collect their vehicles, police say.
A spokeswoman for Essex Police told Mirror Online: "Enquiries have been ongoing following the discovery of a man’s body at St Mary’s car park in Balkerne Hill, just before 9am yesterday.
"Three men, aged 47, 45 and 32, and a 46-year-old woman, were arrested on suspicion of murder overnight. They remain in police custody.
"St. Mary’s car park has been closed since the discovery and we understand how this has impacted upon people who will have left their cars there before we closed the car park.
"The car park will remain closed for at least the next 24 to 48 hours to allow investigations at the scene to be carried out.
"Officers were able to allow people with urgent requirements to access their cars from 6.30pm last night.
"We appeal for those with vehicles still parked within the car park to attend to collect their vehicles, where they will be assisted by officers.
"Motorists continue to be advised to make alternative arrangements to park at this time. Colchester Borough Council is able to give advice on parking within the town."
Police are continuing to appeal for anyone who may have information which they feel may be relevant to the investigation to contact the North Major Investigation Team on 101 quoting incident number 224 of April 23.
