A Minster man arrested in connection with a murder in Cambridgeshire 25 years ago remains on police bail.
The 47-year-old was detained on January 6 on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to prevent a lawful burial.
It was one of nine arrests made by officers as part of a renewed investigation into the death of Andrew Bedford, who went missing in September 1990.
Detectives believe the 27-year-old was shot at a garage in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, but a body has never been found.
Fragments of bone are thought to have been discovered during a 13-day search on the edge of the town last year.
One of those arrested was released without charge but the others, six men and a woman, have also had their bail extended until May 10.
Those arrested were:
- A 70-year-old man from Glatton, near Peterborough, on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to prevent lawful burial.
- A 52-year-old man from the Raunds area in Northamptonshire on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to prevent lawful burial.
- A 50-year-old man from the Ramsey area on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to prevent lawful burial.
- A 43-year-old woman from the Peterborough area on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to prevent lawful burial.
