POLICE are still looking for answers after a body was found in the river in Leamington three months ago.
The body of Adam Lucas was recovered from the river in Victoria Park on Wednesday April 15. A subsequent post-mortem found he died from injuries consistent with being assaulted.
Warwickshire Police’s investigation into the 51 year-old’s death is ongoing and so far, officers have seized and are reviewing thousands of hours of CCTV footage.
Police have spoken to people in the local area to try and get a better picture of exactly what happened to Adam, and five people have been arrested in connection with his death.
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.
Detective Inspector Gareth Unett, who’s leading the investigation, 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 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.
“We’d urge them to speak to officers so 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.”
