Man Charged with Murder After Weymouth Death
A 19-year-old man has been charged with murder following the death of a Weymouth resident at a local hotel.
Tragic Incident at Hotel Central
Police received a report at 11:07pm on Saturday 30 December 2023 about a man needing medical help at the Hotel Central on Maiden Street. Officers arrived at the scene, but sadly, Daniel Mark Hrycyszyn, 35, from Weymouth, was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on Sunday 31 December.
His family has been informed and is being kept updated as the investigation develops.
Five Arrested, One Charged
Five men were initially arrested in connection with the incident. After a thorough probe by Dorset Police’s Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT), 19-year-old Joe Michael Williams from Weymouth has now been formally charged with murder.
He is due to appear at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 3 January 2024. The four other men have been released without charge.
Police Appeal for Responsible Public Conduct
Detective Inspector Mark Jenkins said: “Our thoughts remain very much with Daniel’s family at this extremely difficult time. We have carried out extensive enquiries and worked closely with the Crown Prosecution Service, which has authorised a murder charge against Joe Michael Williams.”
“As this case is now before the courts, it would be inappropriate to comment further. We urge everyone to avoid sharing or commenting on information online that could jeopardise the justice process.”
