Police say: "Our investigations are ongoing, and we are asking for help to piece together Vadims’ last known movements."
We need our community’s help to understand what may have caused this tragic event
"Our detectives are keen to focus on the movements of all three men leading up to the incident, between 1pm and 2.30pm."
"We are particularly keen to learn more about what may have caused the altercation to take place."
"It is believed the three men had been to Aldi a short while before, between 1.30pm and 2.15pm."
"We need our community’s help to understand what may have caused this tragic event."
Insp Matt Dickinson who was one of the first on scene said: “We know how concerning and frightening it will be for people to hear about this investigation and we are making it a priority to find out what happened."
The smallest piece of information can make a big difference
"Members of the Neighbourhood Policing Team attended the scene within minutes of receiving the call to the Force Control Room."
"We initiated CPR but very sadly, Mr Zmicerevskis was pronounced dead shortly after emergency crews arrived. We are now assisting detectives in carrying out house to house enquiries and collating valuable CCTV evidence."
“We really need all the help we can get from the public, and we’re asking you to come forward with anything at all you think might help.
"We would rather you come to us with information you are unsure of than risk not mentioning it, no matter how small you think it might be."
"The smallest piece of information can make a big difference in an investigation, as we’d rather have information and not need it, than miss a key detail.”
