Police have made an 11th arrest in connection with the murders of two men six years ago.

The 22-year-old was detained last week on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Detectives began an investigation after Johnny Robbins, aged 33, disappeared on 21 March 2018. They believe he was tortured before being murdered, but his body has never been found.

His death was linked to the murder of Daniel Shaw, who was found with gunshot injuries in Copland Place in the Tile Hill area of Coventry on 25 March, 2018.

West Midlands Police are still appealing for anyone with information about the whereabouts of Ryan Hobday, from Coventry, to come forward.

Mr Hobday, aged 28 in 2018, is wanted in connection with the murders.

However, the force said it believed he may also have been murdered.

Earlier this month, six men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, while two women and two men were held on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All of those arrested have now been released while inquiries continue.

Deputy senior investigating officer Jenny Birch, said: "We are absolutely committed to establishing the truth behind what happened to Johnny and Daniel.

"Six years have passed, and allegiances change. Do the right thing, and pick up the phone and tell us what you know."
