An 18-year-old man was punched several times in Abington Street, near its intersection with Market Square, around 4.30 p.m. on Saturday, August 20.
The man was taken to the hospital with serious injuries but died the next day.
Three people have been arrested in connection with this incident: a 36-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, both of whom have been released under investigation pending further investigation, and an 18-year-old man who is still in police custody.
This is such a terrible loss of a young life,” said Senior Investigating Officer – Detective Inspector Simon Barnes of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit Major Crime Team. At the age of 18, the victim had his entire life ahead of him, and our hearts go out to his family, partner, and friends during this difficult time.” Since the incident on Saturday, a team of detectives has been working on the case, and the investigation is progressing well. However, I would like to encourage anyone who witnessed what happened and has not yet contacted us to do so. Anyone with information should contact Northamptonshire Police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if they prefer to remain anonymous.
