Detectives have widened their public appeal as they continue to investigate a man’s death in Newark.

A murder investigation was launched last week after a man was found injured at a roadside in the town.

Emergency services were called to reports of a motorist in distress, just before 5pm last Monday (16 June).

The already injured driver pulled over in Lombard Street, before receiving urgent treatment as his condition deteriorated.

Despite the best efforts of the paramedics in attendance, the man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterwards.

Police believe he sustained injuries during a separate incident that same day which may have contributed to him losing his life.

Detectives are currently working to the theory that the man was critically hurt in a fight near Albert Street, between 4pm and 4.04pm.

As such, they’re now appealing specifically to anyone who was in Albert Street, Windsor Road, or Boundary Road, around that time, to come forward.

They also want to hear from anyone who thinks they may have inadvertently recorded footage of the incident, whether on their phone, CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam.

Police have been conducting extensive CCTV and house to house inquiries as part of their investigation over the last week.

These inquiries led to officers arresting a 19-year-old man on suspicion of murder.

The suspect has now been released on bail with strict conditions as the investigation continues.

Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:

“We believe the victim sustained the injuries that led to his death during a separate incident, around an hour earlier and just a few streets away.

“Our understanding is the man may have been hurt in a fight that took place in or around Albert Street, between 4pm and 4.04pm, last Monday.

“This dispute may have also spilled over to nearby Windsor Road or Boundary Road, and would’ve been quite visible, due to the lighting at that time of the day and the location near Newark town centre.

“Bearing this in mind, my ask would be for everyone who was in that area, at that time, to think whether they might have seen something.

“Even better, did you perhaps record something, inadvertently or otherwise, on a phone or on one of your cameras that may have captured what happened?

“Any piece of information you have could help us confirm what happened and solve this case for this man’s grieving family.

“Our inquiries are still very much ongoing on that front and our vow is to leave no stone unturned as part of this investigation.”
