Two people released on bail in Milton Keynes murder investigation

    Two people who were arrested in connection with a murder investigation in Clay Hill, Two Mile Ash on Saturday (29/2) have been released on conditional police bail.

    The 49-year-old woman from Milton Keynes and the 24-year-old man from Nuneaton will remain on bail until 28 March 2020.

    They were arrested at the scene following the death of a 49-year-old man from a stab wound to the neck.

    Police officers are appealing for information as the investigation continues.

    Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Shearwood of the Major Crime Unit based at Aylesbury, said: “We are working to thoroughly investigate the circumstances that led to the death of a man in Clay Hill on Saturday.

    “Two people who were arrested and questioned in connection with this incident have now been released on bail, and I am appealing again to the local community for their help as our investigation continues."

    Police are keen to hear from people who were in Two Mile Ash between 07:30 and 09:30 on Saturday and witnessed any unusual activity.

    Detective Chief Inspector Shearwood continued: "Even if you think what you have seen is not significant, it may be crucial to our investigation, and similarly, if anybody was driving in the area, please can you check dash-cam footage and if it has captured any unusual activity, please make contact with us.

    “Similarly, if you saw or heard anything in the hours leading up to Saturday’s incident, please contact us."

    Local residents will continue to see an increased presence of officers in the area as police conduct further house to house and CCTV enquiries. 

    He concluded: "We are working to establish what has happened, and I would also urge the community not to speculate as to the circumstances that led up to this.

    “The victim’s next of kin are aware, although formal identification has not yet taken place.”

    Anyone with any information is urged to call the 24-hour non-emergency number 101, quoting URN 450 (29/2) or make a report online. You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111.
