Renewed appeals for information after three men arrested on suspicion of murder
Police are renewing appeals for information as the investigation into the murder of a man in Leamington Spa continues.
Gary Hutchings was taken to hospital on Sunday 28 July having suffered a cardiac arrest but later died.
Warwickshire Police subsequently received information to suggest the 54-year-old had been assaulted the same day around the area of Packington Place.
Three men have since been arrested on suspicion of murder.
"We're keen to hear from anyone with information - no matter how small - relating to people in Packington Place or on the route to Leicester Street between 2pm and 2.30pm," a force statement said.
A 22-year-old from Leamington, a 29-year-old from Nuneaton and a 39-year-old man from Leamington were all arrested on suspicion of murder and have been bailed while investigations continue.
Mr Hutchings' family are being supported by specially trained officers and a post-mortem carried out last week was inconclusive.
Warwickshire Police has also set up an online portal where you can give information electronically.
Detective Chief Inspector Collette O'Keefe said: "Our thoughts remain with Gary's family at this challenging time and as they start to try and come to terms with his death.
"Sadly Gary's recent post-mortem was inconclusive and there are still a number of tests that will need to be carried out before we ger any real answers for them.
"Three men arrested have been bailed while we carry out further investigative work. In the meantime, we're still looking into several avenues and are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was a witness and hasn't already spoken to us.
"Ideally, we're appealing for anyone who was in the vicinity of Packington Place between noon and 3pm – but particularly around 2.30pm – to come forward.
"Equally, if you have any information or footage, please submit it through the online portal."
Anyone with information should report it via the portal or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting incident number 160 of 30 July.
