Murder arrest as police probe man’s death in Newark

Police have arrested a man on suspicion of murder as they investigate the death of a man in Newark.

Notts Police were called to Lombard Street just before 5pm on Monday (June 16) after reports of a man in distress at the side of the road.

They say he had been driving when he reportedly suffered a medical emergency, so he pulled over.

He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after emergency services arrived.

A murder investigation was launched and detectives have now arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of murder.

Police have also arrested a 37-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl on suspicion of assisting an offender.

They all remain in custody while investigations continue, and Nottinghamshire Police have again appealed for more information.

Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow said: “The victim’s family have been notified of this and continues to be supported by specially trained officers at this incredibly distressing time.

“While we’re announcing news of these arrests today, I’d stress that this murder investigation is still very much ongoing.

“As such, it is critical that anyone who has any information but hasn’t told us about it yet, does so immediately.

“Any piece of information, however small or insignificant it might seem, could be the difference between us solving a case like this.

“If anyone is cautious about contacting the police, you don’t have to do this directly but can instead pass on anything you know anonymously through Crimestoppers.”

Information can be shared with Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111, while the police can be notified by calling 101, quoting incident number 547 of June 16, 2025.
