Suffolk Police are investing the death of a 28 year old man
Suffolk Police have arrested two more people in connection with the death of an inmate at HMP Highpoint.
28-year-old Krishan Rawal was admitted to Addenbrookes Hospital on the 23rd on January, having sustained a wound to near his right armpit, following an attack by another prisoner.
He was transported to and treated in hospital, before returning to prison. He was then readmitted to hospital several days later where he died.
The Home Office conducted a post-mortem examination on 30th January, but the cause of death remains under investigation.
On Tuesday (31 March), police arrested two men, one in his 40s and the other in his 30s, both on suspicion of assisting an offender.
These men, who are inmates at Highpoint, were taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning before returning to the prison.
They remain under investigation.
