Police said they both remain in custody.
The man was confirmed dead at the scene and his next of kin have been informed, the force added.
Detective Inspector Neil Blanchard, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Inquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident but at this time we are treating the man’s death as suspicious.
“We understand that any incident this serious in nature, will cause concern amongst the community, it is believed that the involved parties are known to each other and there is no wider risk to the public.
“You can expect to see an increased presence around the business park while our investigation continues.”
