Police are appealing for a Scarborough man to give himself up after the victim of a serious attack has died.
Huw Owen, 40, was originally wanted in connection with a serious assault on another man in the village of Staithes in March.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment to head injuries but sadly he has since died. His family are currently being supported by specially trained police officers.
Officers are renewing their appeal to anyone who knows where Huw Owen is and ask them to call 999 and pass that information as a matter of urgency.
They also appeal to Mr Owen to “do the right thing” and contact the police himself.
Detective Chief Inspector Gemma Tate of Scarborough CID, said: “Our priority is to speak to Huw Owen as we believe that he will have information which can help our enquiries.
“I would urge anyone who has any information which will help us identify the whereabouts of Mr Owen or help our investigation, to contact us immediately.”
If you see Mr Owen, or know where he is, police say do not approach him but instead contact them immediately – either call 101 with information, or 999 with an immediate sighting.
