Good evening. My name is Superintendent Rachel Hanford and I'm the Area Commander for Northampton.
00:09
Northamptonshire Police has launched a murder investigation after a man in his 20s was tragically
00:16
killed in Little Billing, Northampton yesterday evening, Wednesday December 11th. Emergency
00:24
services were called at about 5.40pm in Flaxwell Court following reports that a man had been
00:32
seriously assaulted. Sadly, and despite the best efforts of police officers and paramedics
00:39
at the scene, he died shortly afterwards in hospital. This is an exceptionally sad and
00:47
tragic incident and as the local policing commander, I would like to personally offer
00:52
my sincere condolences to his family, who we are supporting at this time by specially
00:58
trained officers and his friends. A death in such circumstances can have enormous impact
01:06
in the neighbourhoods and in the wider community and I'd like to offer reassurance that we
01:12
have a dedicated team of officers working at pace to establish why this has happened.
01:20
We know people are very shocked and upset by what has taken place and our officers
01:25
will remain in the area over the coming days to provide reassurance and to be on hand if
01:30
anybody has any concerns. Three people have been arrested. Arrested in connection with
01:39
this investigation and they remain in police custody at this time. However, we still want
01:45
to hear from anyone who has any information which could assist our investigations. We
01:51
would encourage people with information, however small, to get in touch as soon as they can
01:56
if they have not already done so. Any little detail may assist our investigation and we'd
02:03
rather have small pieces of well-meaning information than not have them at all. If you have any
02:10
information please call us on 101 or if you would prefer you can call Crimestoppers anonymously
02:17
on 0800 555 111. If you have any CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage which is relevant to the
02:29
investigation or which may be relevant to the investigation, this can be uploaded directly
02:34
via a special portal on our website. Family and friends should be coming together at this
02:41
time of year in the festive period. However, today one family from our Northampton community
02:49
are suffering unimaginable loss. From one mother to another mother, my thoughts are
02:58
with you, your husband and your children. I'm very sorry for your loss.
