Farm Death, Missing Man Linked to Hit-and-Run
25 Nov
Summary
- A 52-year-old man was found deceased at a Nottinghamshire farm.
- Investigators are linking the death to a missing 82-year-old man.
- A recent hit-and-run injuring two men may also be connected.
Detectives in Nottinghamshire are probing a potential connection between the discovery of a deceased man at a farm and the ongoing disappearance of an 82-year-old local resident. The 52-year-old man was found in an outbuilding near Newark on Saturday, with his death not initially treated as suspicious but believed to be linked to the missing person case.
The investigation has broadened to include a hit-and-run incident that took place on Saturday morning. Two men sustained injuries when a car struck them before leaving the scene. Authorities are exploring whether this event is connected to the death and disappearance.
Brian Wright, the 82-year-old man who was reported missing earlier in the week, is the focus of a homicide investigation following intelligence suggesting he is deceased. Search efforts are underway, and police have requested the public's privacy for the families involved.
