Two people will no longer face action as part of a murder investigation in Bournemouth.

The 23-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were arrested as part of the probe, which began after police responded to a welfare call at an address on Hinton Road at around 12:15am on 20 July 2023.

A man in his 60s was found unconscious and taken to hospital.

He died there of a head injury on 24 July 2023.

The pair, who are both from Bournemouth and were arrested on suspicion of murder, have now been released from the police investigation.

A 39-year-old man, who is also from Bournemouth and was known to the victim, remains on police bail as the Major Crime Investigation Team continue to look into the incident.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact Dorset Police online, or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55230112971.
