Dominic Wilson was found by police dying from a stab wound at a property in the town centre in the early hours of Monday morning. Despite efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Avon and Somerset Police discovered the 43-year-old after being led to the address by the victim of a reported robbery at the Royal Grosvenor Hotel at the seaside resort.
Today, detectives said they had arrested a 29-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man on suspicion of Mr Wilson’s murder, and two men, aged 45 and 54, on suspicion of assisting an offender.
