Police appeal for further information as they investigate man's death in Leamington
Adam Lucas's body was found in Victoria Park back in April.
Police are appealing for further information as they continue their investigation into a Leamington man’s death.
Adam Lucas's body was recovered from the river in Victoria Park around 7.45am on Wednesday 15th of April. The subsequent post-mortem found that he died from injuries consistent with being assaulted.
The police investigation into the 51-year-old’s death is currently ongoing. So far, they say they've seized and are examining thousands of hours of CCTV footage.
Police say they've arrested five people in connection with his death:
A 27-year-old man from Birmingham arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed.
A 23-year-old woman from Birmingham arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been bailed. She was also subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed.
A 44-year-old woman from Leamington and a 43-year-old man from Leamington - both arrested on suspicion of murder – have been bailed.
A 53-year-old man from Leamington we arrested on suspicion of murder was released with no further action.
Detective Inspector Gareth Unett, who's leading the investigation, said: “We’re really keen to work out where Adam went and what he did in the hours before he died, and we’re urging anyone with information to get in touch."
"We're confident someone knows what happened and may not yet have come forward. We understand they may have concerns about speaking to police."
“We’d urge them to speak to officers so we can help get justice for what happened to Adam."
“Did you see or hear anything that might help us understand how Adam died? Do you know where he was in the eight hours before he was found?"
"Do you know why Adam might have been assaulted, who by or can you think of anyone he might have spoken to during those times?"
“No matter how small or insignificant it seems, your information could prove to be the crucial piece that helps us work out what happened to him.”
