TWO men arrested as part of a murder investigation after a death in Glastonbury have been released.

Avon and Somerset Police said the men – arrested after the death of 89-year-old Frederick Burge – were released without charge.

Mr Burge was found deceased at his home, in George Street, after police were called at around 12.30pm on Sunday, February 26.

Meanwhile, officers were out in the town over the weekend speaking with members of the public and handing out witness appeal leaflets.

Detective Inspector Neil Meade, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Frederick was last seen seven days ago, on Saturday, February 25, at around 8.10am walking his Jack Russell dog along Northload Street and High Street.

“We’re keen to hear from anyone that recalls seeing him after that point, or was in the George Street area last weekend and saw anything out of the ordinary. What may have seemed inconsequential at the time, could be significant to our investigation, so please come forward and let us know.”

DI Meade added: “We continue to provide support to Mr Burge’s family and update them on the latest developments with our investigation.

“They are understandably devastated by the events of recent days and we continue to work day and night to get answers for them about what happened.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting reference number 5223050314.
