Third arrest in Tommy Ward murder case

DETECTIVES investigating the killing of Maltby’s Tommy Ward made a third arrest on Wednesday.

A 23-year-old Sheffield man was held on suspicion of murder, in addition to two other men — a 30-year-old from Sheffield and a 35-year-old from Rotherham who were arrested earlier in the day.

It followed warrants being executed in Aston, Ulley, Wales and parts of Sheffield.

Tommy (80), of Salisbury Road, died in hospital five months after being attacked at home.
