Flowers have been left at the pool where the body was found
Police investigating the murder of a teenager found dead in a West Midlands' pond have arrested two more men.
The men, 20 and 22, are being questioned over the death of the 16-year-old boy, whose body was retrieved by divers on Sunday.
They found the body in a pool in Bickley Road, The Lunt, in Bilston.
Three more men, arrested earlier, have been released on police bail. A post-mortem examination is taking place on Monday.
Police said they were trying to establish whether 16-year-old was involved in an "incident" with a group of people near Bickley Road at lunchtime on Saturday.
Det Insp Mark Payne appealed for any witnesses to come forward to help officers piece together the circumstances of how the boy came to be in the water.

I hadn't heard about this, until the wife told me earlier. She had heard (on the news) that this lad was allegedly thrown into the pond after becoming involved in an arguement. As the kid couldn't swim, he struggled and said youths then reportedly pelted him with stones as he tried to clamber out. He drowned and after his body was recovered, a murder investigation has been launched.
Again - what's been mentioned above may well be conjecture, but the fact that police have launched a murder enquiry, suggests that it may not be too far off what happened.

shirley they wouldnt be adequately trained in stone throwing to be able to perform such an action in a high pressured situation?
They may have thought stones floated, and be trying to throw them near the boy to help him?
