Northampton murder update
It follows a fatal stabbing incident
Four people arrested in connection with the murder of 30-year-old Tommy Boom in Semilong, Northampton, have been released without further action as investigations continue.
Following formal police interviews, the 18-year-old man and three women aged 40, 38 and 29 have been eliminated from the enquiries.
Emergency services were called shortly after midnight on Thursday, July 18, following reports of a stabbing on a footpath in Millers Meadow – known locally as Semilong Park - close to the junction with Spencer Bridge Road.
Sadly, despite the efforts of the emergency services, Tommy died at the scene and a murder investigation was launched.
This investigation continues to move at pace and Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell of Northamptonshire Police, would like to thank members of the public who have come forward with information.
DCI Campbell said: “Tommy’s family is being supported by specially trained officers, and our thoughts remain with them at this extremely difficult time.
“This is an exceptionally sad and tragic incident and understandably has had a huge impact on the neighbourhood and wider community and we know people are very shocked and upset by what has happened.
“We would like to thank the community for their support while officers carried out searches at the scene as well as thank those who have contacted us with information which has helped with our investigation.
“However, we would also again appeal to anyone who may have information, however small, to get in touch as soon as possible if they have not already done so. Any little detail may help us piece together what happened around the time of the attack on Tommy.
“Over the coming days, our neighbourhood policing team will remain in the Semilong area and anyone with any concerns, whether connected to this incident or not, is encouraged to speak to them as they will be happy to help.”
