Tenth arrest made in Kettering murder investigation
It follows the death of Ryan Burton who was assaulted a fortnight ago
Detectives investigating the murder of 34-year-old Ryan Burton have arrested a 10th person in connection with the incident in Highfield Road, Kettering, on Friday, January 10th.
An 18-year-old man from Corby was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday (Thursday, January 23rd), and remains in police custody along with a 29-year-old man arrested on Tuesday (January 20th).
Six men – four from Kettering aged 38, 24, 24 and 22, a 20-year-old man from Desborough and a 24-year-old man from Rothwell – who were arrested on suspicion of murder, have all been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Two women - a 33-year-old from Kettering and a 23-year-old from Corby – have also been released on police bail pending further enquiries after being arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Ryan, who was originally from Corby, died at the University Hospital Coventry last Thursday (January 16th), six days after the assault which happened in Kettering’s Spring Rise park, near Highfield Road shortly before 7pm, on Friday 10th January.
Dozens of dedicated officers and staff are working on this murder investigation across various fronts, including specialist officers from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) Major Crime team, who continue to support Ryan’s family.
The investigation team has re-issued an appeal for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward, no matter how small or insignificant they believe the information is, as any little detail, police say, may help piece together what happened around the time of the attack.
Anyone with information, including CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam footage of the area between 6.30pm and 7.30pm on Friday, January 10, should call Northamptonshire Police on 101.
