Anonymous poems naming potential murder suspects were posted on lamp-posts and bus stops across Bath in the weeks after Paul Kelly, 32, was killed outside the Longacre Tavern.

Police said two men, aged 17 and 20, and a 20-year-old woman were arrested in Bath and Bristol on Tuesday morning.

All three are due to be interviewed later in the day.

Mr Kelly was attacked just 40 minutes after the start of the New Year.

Police previously said they had obtained 521 statements, completed 1,372 actions and interviewed 1,073 people as part of their investigation.

Detective Superintendent Nigel Rock, who is leading the investigation, said: "We have spoken to a significant number of people as part of the inquiry but we know there are still people who have not come forward."
