A 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 46-year-old man's body was found inside a property.

Officers attended an address at Bryn y Ffynnon, Brymbo, Wrexham, at around 18:00 BST on Thursday following welfare concerns.

Police said the deceased man had not been seen for several days and was found inside the property. His family have been informed.

A 50-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of murder and police are appealing for witnesses.

The force said a police presence would remain in the area while enquiries continue.

Det Insp Rob Mahoney, from North Wales Police, appealed for anyone who was in the Bryn y Ffynnon area on Sunday morning and "may have seen or heard anything unusual" to contact the force.

"We are also keen to hear from anyone who may have CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage from the area on that day," he said.

"My thoughts remain with the man's family at this difficult time," he added.
