A MAN arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on conditional bail following a new investigation into the death of a Colchester man. 

Essex Police have issued an update after a man was arrested on suspicion of murder of Stuart Coldicott.

Mr Coldicott died after sustaining a serious head injury in the city in February 2014. 

Stuart, 36 at the time, was treated for his life-threatening injuries, and despite the attempts of the experts was left requiring a high level of complex daily care. 

Sadly, he died aged 46 in March this year. 

His passing triggered a fresh investigation by police, after a forensic post-mortem examination identified a causal link between his head injury from ten years ago and his death. 

The investigation led to the arrest of a 61-year-old man on Monday, who was questioned on suspicion of murder. 

The man has now been released on conditional bail until December, police have confirmed.
