Three men are being questioned by UK police after a spate of deaths linked to a potentially fatal batch of ecstasy tablets.
Suffolk Police said the men, aged 19, 20 and 26, all from Ipswich, have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.
The arrests follow the deaths of two young men in Ipswich, on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day, and a third man in Rendlesham, Suffolk, which have been linked to a dangerous batch of ecstasy pills.
The death of a fourth man in Telford, Shropshire, is also thought to be related to the rogue drugs.
Police have urged anyone who has the tablets to hand them in to prevent further fatalities, saying that members of the public have nothing to fear in surrendering drugs from the dangerous batch to authorities.
The drugs are red, triangular pills marked with a distinctive “Superman” logo, and people are asked to hand them in at a police station, accident and emergency department or fire station.
Superintendent Louisa Pepper, from Suffolk Police, said: “Our focus remains the prevention of further harm to our communities by taking these drugs off the streets.
