Police have launched an investigation into a ‘potential homicide’ after the death of a man from Burnley.
Officers were called to an address in Harley Street at around 3.20pm on Sunday July 28, after a man was found with serious injuries.
Paul Inskip, 55, who lived at the address, was taken to hospital but died yesterday (Sunday 28 July 2024).
Police say the death is being treated as a potential homicide and an investigation is underway to determine how Paul came by his injuries.
Three people have been arrested – a woman in her 40s and two men in their 30s – on suspicion of assault. They have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Mr Inskip’s family have been told of his death.
A postmortem examination will be carried out in due course.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Dickinson, of the force major investigation team, said: “First and foremost my thoughts are with Mr Inskip’s loved ones at this time.
“While Mr Inskip had suffered some serious injuries, what is not yet clear is how he came by those injuries, and I would appeal to anyone who may have any information to come forward.
“I am especially keen to hear from anyone who may have seen or spoken to Paul between Sunday, July 28 and Monday July29, or who has any knowledge of how he came by his injuries. I would urge those people to make contact.
“I would also like to hear from any drivers with dashcam who may have been on Harley Street between those dates.”
Anyone with information should contact the police on 101 quoting log 0767 of July 28, or call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
