POLICE have still not found a body during the murder enquiry at Runcorn Bridge.

The investigation was launched after a man was spotted acting suspiciously on the Silver Jubilee Bridge on Saturday, February 12.

Two men have been arrested in connection to the investigation but have been released.

A 43-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder after witnesses claimed they saw a man parking his car and acting suspiciously on the bridge, between 8:30pm and 9pm on Saturday.

He was arrested in St Helens but was released under investigation on February 14.

A 38-year-old man was also arrested in Cheshire on suspicion of murder but was later released on conditional bail.

Police divers could be seen in the Mersey as an underwater search unit was later based at the site.
