Police officers investigating the alleged murder of 72-year-old Northampton man, Giuseppe Miceli, will return to the scene of his death tomorrow to speak to potential witnesses.
Mr Miceli was found dead at his home in Bants Lane, Duston, at about 1.45pm on Saturday July 13. He died as a result of head injuries.
Investigators are now keen to talk to anyone who may have been in the area from lunchtime on Thursday July 11 through to the afternoon of Saturday July 13.
Det Supt Kate Meynell, who is leading the investigation, said: “Bants Lane is a busy residential road and through route, and a lot of people will have driven or walked through this area in the 48 hours leading up to the discovery of Mr Miceli’s body.
“We are really keen to speak to people who were in the area this time last week.
“They may not think they saw anything suspicious but every bit of information is important and may help us build a full picture of the circumstances surrounding Mr Miceli’s death.”
Uniformed officers will be on patrol from 10am on Friday and will talk to residents and people travelling through Bants Lane and the surrounding area.
A 40-year-old man from Wellingborough has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody in Northampton.
Anyone with any information can call police on 101 or 03000 111222, extension 341078 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
