THREE men and a teenager were arrested on suspicion of murder after a man got into difficulties in a Hampshire fishing lake and died.

The four, including a 48-year-old from Southampton, were detained following an incident at the three-acre Longbridge Lake, near Romsey.

But the man's death is no longer being treated as suspicious and all four were later released with no further action.

However, one of the men is being investigated in connection with an assault which allegedly took place during the incident.
