THE man who died in an incident in Wellington earlier this week suffered a single stab wound, it has been revealed.

Police say a man arrested on suspicion of murder following the death in a property in Jurston Lane on Tuesday (February 7) remains in custody today (Thursday, February 9).

The suspect, who is aged 33, was arrested in West Midlands later that day. It is believed he was arrested at a train station in Birmingham.

A woman who was arrested in Somerset on suspicion of murder that same day was released without charge this morning.

Emergency services had been called to a residential property in Jurston Lane at about 8.25am on Tuesday after a man in his 30s had been found critically injured. Sadly, he died a short while later at the scene.

A post-mortem examination carried out yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, February 8) revealed the man died after sustaining a single stab wound.

The formal identification process will be completed today.

Detective Inspector Mark Newbury said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and we continue to update them as our investigation develops.

"Specialist officers are maintaining regular contact and providing support to them.

“A number of people have come forward to help our investigation over the past two days for which we are incredibly grateful.

"We are working hard to process all that information, as we further our understanding into what has happened in this tragic case.

“We’d like to reassure the public that it remains our belief this was an isolated incident.

“We’d also like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while we make enquiries at the scene, which we expect will continue for the next couple of days.

"Anyone with concerns is encouraged to talk to officers in the area who will be happy to help.”
