Police have arrested a man on suspicion of murder after fishermen found a severed arm in a lake.
The grim find was made in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, on Thursday afternoon.
A police spokesman said: "A 53-year-old man was last night arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the discovery of a severed arm in Buckhurst Hill on Thursday.
"The arm was discovered by fishermen at around 2.50pm at a lake off Roding Lane.
"The 53-year-old man remains in police custody.
"Police are continuing to appeal to anyone who may have any information to contact them at their Harlow major investigation team on 0300 333 4444."
