Three people have been arrested after a man's body was found in a wheelie bin.
A member of the public found the body in a green council bin in a park in Coventry on Friday.
Inquiries are still ongoing to formally identify the victim and establish how he died, with police saying he may have been hit by a vehicle before being moved to the park.
In an update on Monday, West Midlands Police said a man and woman in their 40s and a man in his 20s were arrested overnight in Blackpool on suspicion of murder and assisting an offender. They remain in custody.
Police previously revealed the victim, thought to be aged between 40 and 50, had a tattoo of a cross with a snake wrapped around it on his back and the words "Little Stardust".
He also had a tattoo on his right arm saying "nan" with a clover and the colours of the Irish flag, the force added.
The body was found in Cash's Park off Daimler Road at about 5pm on Friday, police said.
