Beer death no longer considered murder

Second such Devon incident in days

Two suspicious deaths in Devon in the space of a few days are no longer being treated as possible crimes.

Just after midnight on Tuesday a police were called to an address in the East Devon village of Beer where they found a man in his 30s dead.

They arrested a man aged 30 on suspicion of attempted murder. He's now been released without charge and the matter handed over to the coroner.

Last Saturday morning, a similar scenario played out in Okehampton, following the death of a 60-year-old woman at a property in Wonnacotts Road. 

After taking a 64-year-old man into custody, they later released him saying the matter was no longer being treated as a criminal investigation. The woman's death has also been reported to the coroner.
