Six men have been arrested in connection with the murder of of a former Market Harborough bouncer David Ross. Mr Ross, 39, died following an assault last year. The doorman's body was discovered at the Village Express Hotel, in Corby, on December 17. Northamptonshire Police said a post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Ross died from head injuries following the assault. Mr Ross, also known as Les, once worked as a doorman at Harborough's Enigma nightclub, in Coventry Road. The six men - whose ages range from 20 to 35 - were arrested after police raided addresses in Corby. The arrests were part of an operation involving 50 officers from Northamptonshire Police, Leicestershire Police and the East Midlands Special Operations Unit. Detective Chief Inspector Martin Kinchin, who is leading the murder investigation, said: "We believe the people we have arrested have vital information around the circumstances that led to the murder of Mr Ross." Mr Ross was found dead at the hotel on the morning of Monday, December 17 – his home in Corby had been burgled three days previously. Det Chf Insp Kinchin said: "We now know that the burglary on Friday, December 14 was not an opportunist crime but a planned crime targeting Mr Ross. "He moved into the hotel but was keeping his whereabouts very quiet. However, somebody who knew of his location has likely provided the information to Mr Ross's enemies. "We know there are still people with key information for our inquiry and continue to encourage people to contact us directly or, on an anonymous basis, through Crimestoppers."
