Essex Police officers detained a man and teenager from London
Two people have been arrested as part of a murder investigation into the death of a man found injured in a Cheshunt car park. The victim, aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital on Monday, June 22, where he died four days later.
Officers detained a 24-year-old man in connection on Friday and a 17-year-old boy yesterday, Essex Police said in a statement this morning. The pair, both from London, have since been released on bail.
Investigators believe the victim, who is yet to be named publicly, was in the Waltham Abbey or Waltham Cross area before being assaulted. He was reportedly last seen in an MG ZS car, which has now been located following a public appeal.
Detective chief inspector Greg Wood said: “Our work has progressed quickly since the man was found with significant injuries in Hertfordshire. Two arrests have been made and the MG vehicle, which is key element of the investigation, has been found thanks to members of the public coming forward.
“At the heart of this investigation is a man whose family continue to grieve for him, and they continue to be supported by our specialist liaison officers.”
Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting Operation Tenfield. Reports can also be submitted to the Major Investigation Public Portal.
