Update on murder investigation

Update on murder investigation

Hello Resident,

Our Major Crime Unit is continuing its murder investigation following the tragic death in Bletchley.

Warrants of further detention have been granted for two of the people who were arrested following the death of a 26-year-old man in Brooklands Road on Thursday night. Therefore, they are still in our custody. 

However, one has been released with no further action after investigative work ruled him out as suspect.

A crime scene is still in place on Brooklands Road and is expected to remain for some time. Please speak to a uniformed officer if you have any concerns.

The victim has not yet been formally identified; we continue to support the victim’s family at this extremely difficult time. Please do not speculate at this time to avoid further distress to his family.

We remain in the early stages of this complex and fast-moving murder investigation but anyone who saw anything in the area of Brooklands Road and Sunset Close on Thursday night should contact police.

Anyone with information should call 101, contact us via our website or visit a police station, quoting reference number 43260393336. You can also speak to a uniformed officer at the scene.

Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.

You can read more on our website.

Kind regards,
