Police have got until the end of today to continue questioning a 30-year-old Bradford man in connection with the murder of a pensioner found dead at his home on Thursday.

Clement Desmier, 68, was found by neighbours at the house in Rowlestone Rise, Greengates, where he lived alone.

West Yorkshire Police, who arrested the man on Saturday, were granted an extension by magistrates yesterday to carry on questioning the suspect.

Inquiries into the murder remain ongoing, police said
