A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a man was pulled from a Wiltshire river.

A passer-by spotted the body in the River Avon near the Waitrose supermarket in Salisbury on Saturday.

The identity of the man is not yet known and a post-mortem examination is to be carried out by a Home Office pathologist on Sunday.
