A 53-year-old man has been charged with murder after another man suffered a suspected stab wound in Skegness.

Paramedics were called out on Friday morning (2nd December) but were unable to save 47-year-old Marcus Tott who died at the scene.

Richard Lee Norris, of Alexandra Road in the town has been charged with murder and is remanded into custody and will appear at Lincoln Magistrates Court tomorrow (6th December).

Norris and two women, aged 22 and 42, were arrested on suspicion of murder. The two women have been released on conditional bail.

Detective Inspector Adrian Czajkowski, who is leading the investigation, said:

“We’d like to give thanks to the local community for all of their support and our thoughts remain with the friends and family of Marcus Tott.

“We believe this to be an isolated incident with no wider risk to the public and we continue to appeal for any information, including CCTV and dashcam footage that can assist our inquiries.

“Any information, no matter how small, can prove vital, so we would urge the public to get in touch. You can either call us on 101 or send us information anonymously by using the public portal.”

Officers from the neighbourhood team in Skegness will be present tomorrow (6 December) at the Sacred Heart Church on Grosvenor Road between 2-4pm. If anyone has any concerns or has any information to share with officers in relation to the murder investigation.
