Four Rearrested on Suspicion of Murder
Excellent
Police have re-arrested four individuals on suspicion of murder as their investigation continues into the death of a man following an incident in Stocksbridge. On Saturday, 12 April, at 8:36 PM, officers were called to reports of a disturbance on Knoll Close, Sheffield. Upon arrival, along with ambulance services, they found 34-yearold Lee Wesson, who was subsequently taken to hospital. Sadly, Mr. Wesson died a few days later due to his injuries. Specialist officers are supporting his family, who have requested that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.
Rated “Excellent”
An immediate investigation was launched, leading to the initial arrest of four people. A 35-year-old woman and two men, aged 30 and 37, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Additionally, a 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and perverting the course of justice.
All four were later released on bail pending further inquiries. As the investigation progresses, the same four individuals were re-arrested on Thursday, 1 May on suspicion of murder. They have once again been released on bail as inquiries continue. Detective Inspector Adam Watkinson, the senior investigating officer, stated, "Our investigation is moving forward swiftly as we work to establish the circumstances that tragically led to Lee's death." He added, "We are still appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the events that evening to come forward. Any piece of information, no matter how minor it may seem, could be valuable to our investigation." Anyone with information that could assist the inquiry is urged to contact the police through their online portal or by calling 101, quoting incident number 902 of 12 April 2025.
