SIX people have been arrested in connection with the death of Luke Jobson after police confirmed the body found on Monday was that of the missing 22-year-old.
Cleveland Police confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that a 16-year old-boy has come forward this afternoon to speak to officers working on the Luke Jobson inquiry.
The teenager has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and will be questioned in due course.
Five other teenagers, aged 16 and 18, have all now been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
Hundreds of people joined a search for Luke in the desperate hope of finding the trainee engineer alive.
"Our thoughts are with Luke’s family and friends at this very difficult time and specially trained officers will continue to support them.
"We are aware of various rumours and speculation circulating on social media but we would stress that sharing these further can be very distressing for Luke’s family as well as being unhelpful to our on-going inquiries."
