Update from detectives investigating death of 89-year-old man in Glastonbury
Frederick Burge was sadly found deceased at his home in George Street on Sunday 26 February
Detectives investigating the death of an 89-year-old man in Glastonbury last weekend have issued an update, as enquiries into what happened continue.
Frederick Burge was sadly found deceased at his home in George Street at around 12.30pm on Sunday 26 February.
Two men have so far been arrested as part of the investigation, but both were released without charge yesterday (Saturday 4 March).
Officers say they are speaking with members of the public this weekend, and handing out witness appeal leaflets in the Market Cross area to seek further witnesses.
Detective Inspector Neil Meade, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Frederick was last seen seven days ago, on Saturday 25 February, at around 8.10am walking his Jack Russell dog along Northload Street and High Street.
“We’re keen to hear from anyone that recalls seeing him after that point, or was in the George Street area last weekend and saw anything out of the ordinary. What may have seemed inconsequential at the time, could be significant to our investigation, so please come forward and let us know.”
DI Meade added: “We continue to provide support to Mr Burge’s family and update them on the latest developments with our investigation.
“They are understandably devastated by the events of recent days and we continue to work day and night to get answers for them about what happened.”
