POLICE have arrested two men on suspicion of murder following the death of a 30-year-old man in Tranmere last night.
At around 11.20pm, officers were called to a disturbance in Crofton Road.
At the same time, they received reports of a collision between a silver Ford Transit van and a number of parked vehicles in nearby Fairfield Road.
