Continued appeal for information about Leamington man's death

The detective leading the investigation into a Leamington man’s death is appealing for anyone with new information to come forward.

The body of Adam Lucas was recovered from the river in Victoria Park around 7.45am on Wednesday 15 April and a post-mortem found he died from injuries consistent with being assaulted. Five arrests have been made so far in connection with his death. They are:

• 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 arrested on suspicion of murder was released with no further action (NFA).

Detective Inspector Gareth Unett 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 fresh 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, but we’d urge them to speak to us 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.”
