A father and son wanted for questioning about the murder of a traveller in the UK have been arrested in Marbella.

The headless and handless body of John Finney, 42, was found dumped in Ickleford, Hertfordshire, on 14 March.

Mr Finney is thought to have been abducted from his vehicle in Northaw, on 29 February.

A third man, Mark Curran, 28, of Barnet, Hertfordshire, has been charged with his murder and has been remanded in custody.

Mr Finney was identified partly by the tattoos on his body.

His Mitsubishi Pajero was found abandoned in Park Farm, Northaw.

A post-mortem examination was unable to establish the cause of Mr Finney's death.

He and his family were well-known within the travelling community, police said.

The investigation has been carried out by the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit.
