Lincolnshire Police share man’s final movements before he died as officers issue plea over pick-up truck

Police have traced the last movements of a man before his death and are asking the public to come forward with information. Lincolnshire Police[1] attended Carholme Road in Lincoln[2] just before 11.30pm on Sunday, December 8, and discovered a 55-year-old man with serious head injuries. The man died at the scene and a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody.

Police shut all of Carholme Road and it remained closed on Monday, December 9, with a cordon in place between Moor Street and Gresham Street. Officers now believe that the victim was walking from the Queen in the West pub on Moor Street in the direction of Carholme Road at some point just prior to 11.10pm on Sunday night, which is when they believe the assault happened and an ambulance was called. The force is now asking the public for help to piece together his last movements and who he had contact with, as well as potential dashcam footage.

A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: "It is not clear the exact route he took, and we are asking people who live in the West End area to check any CCTV, doorbell, or mobile phone footage from between 10.45pm and 11.20pm which may show our victim walking along the street and eventually interacting with someone shortly after 11pm. "There is another line of enquiry we are also following. We are asking anyone with dashcam footage who was travelling along the A57 around the Saxilby area to check footage and see if they have captured a white L-reg Mercedes X-class pick up truck travelling in the Lincoln direction.

"We are also keen to locate footage of that vehicle in the Carholme Road area."
