A man and a woman are being questioned in connection with the
discovery of a live hand grenade found outside the home of football
hero Kenny Dalglish.
The grenade was discovered on the garden wall of the former
Liverpool manager's house in Southport, Merseyside, on July 27.
Merseyside Police said that they arrested a 21-year-old man and
a 50-year-old woman from the L13 area of Liverpool on suspicion of
conspiracy to commit murder.
They are in custody and are being questioned by detectives.
Two other men have been charged with the same offence and will
appear before Liverpool Crown Court next month.
The incident was not thought to be an attack on Mr Dalglish or
his family.
The grenade was found by police searching the local area as part
of an investigation.
The army's bomb disposal team were called to the house, in
Selworthy Road, Birkdale, and the area was cordoned off for the
public's safety until the grenade was taken away for forensic
examination.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
Simon Lewis Ignacio, 28, of Lee Park Avenue, Belle Vale,
Liverpool, and Carl Higgins, 29, of Helston Green,
Huyton-with-Roby, Merseyside, are charged with conspiracy to commit
murder.
They are in custody and will appear at Liverpool Crown Court on
September 2.
