Two men were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the fatal fire at Wealmoor’s Atherstone on Stour packhouse in November 2007.

Warwickshire Police issued a statement saying the 47-year-old and 53-year-old, both from the county, presented themselves at a police station in Warwickshire where they were arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. They will also be questioned about offences under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Four fire fighters died as a result of the fire. Ten men arrested earlier this year in connection with the fire - eight on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and two on suspicion of misconduct in a public office remain on police bail pending further inquiries.
