Murder investigation finds death 'not suspicious'

Three people arrested on suspicion of murdering a man in Bournemouth in 2023 will face no further action after the death was found to be "not suspicious".

A man, in his 60s, was found unconscious at a property in Hinton Road on 20 July 2023 and died in hospital four days later.

A woman, aged 23, and two 39-year-old men from the town had been bailed following their arrest.

On Tuesday, Dorset Police said they had been released from the investigation.

A police spokesperson said: "After extensive enquiries, including obtaining medical evidence, the investigation has now concluded and the death is not being treated as suspicious."

"Previously, a 23-year-old woman and two 39-year-old men – all from Bournemouth – were initially arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, but after the man's death were further arrested on suspicion of murder and released on police bail.

"They have now all been released from the investigation and will not face any further action."
