Police launch murder investigation after man killed in ‘hit-and-run’

Three men who have been arrested in connection with the incident, remain in police custody.

Detectives are questioning three people after a man was killed in a suspected ‘hit-and-run’.

The 38-year-old man was critically injured in the incident around midnight on Friday, October 18 in Potter Street, Harlow, Essex, and died in hospital yesterday.

Three men who have been arrested in connection with the incident, remain in police custody.

A 35-year-old was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder while two others, aged 24 and 34, were also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and failing to stop following a road traffic collision.

Police believe a blue BMW 1 Series found alight in a field near Roydon High Street shortly after the victim was found, may be linked to the incident.

An Essex Police spokesman said: ‘We continue to appeal for witnesses who were in the Potter Street area of Harlow or High Street area of Roydon in the early hours of Friday and saw the collision.’
