Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 43-year-old man was found dead at a property in Shipley.

Officers were called to premises on Stead Street at about 09:30 BST on Tuesday after concerns were raised about a man's safety, according to West Yorkshire Police.

A 64-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the discovery and remained in custody, a spokesperson said.

A post-mortem examination would take place later, they added.

The force spokesperson said: "While the investigation is in its early stages, extensive inquiries remain ongoing by the Homicide and Major Inquiry Team."
