Two-month appeal following death of Jamie Attwood

Detectives are appealing for witnesses two months on from the death of Jamie Attwood.

Jamie, a 37-year-old man from Raunds, was reported missing on July 28 with his body sadly being found three days later at Stanwick Lakes.

As part of the coronial process, officers are working with the Coroner’s Office to establish the timeline leading up to Jamie’s death.

They are particularly interested in seeking any witnesses who may have seen Jamie on the evening of July 27 in the Stanwick Lakes area. It is believed he travelled there from the Oliver Twist pub in High Street, Irthlingborough, and would have been wearing a light grey hooded tracksuit with a black backpack on, and a smaller bag around his neck. 

Detective Inspector Torie Harrison said: “We want to provide Jamie’s family with the answers they deserve regarding how their loved-one died and as part of that, I am appealing for anyone who may have seen Jamie in the days leading up to this death to come forward.

“As part of this appeal, we are including a photo of Jamie and a photo of the distinctive tattoos he had on his chest, in an effort to jog people’s memories.

“We understand that there are areas cordoned off by barbed wire in Stanwick Lakes, which we know people frequent, and we are asking anyone who may have been in those areas and saw Jamie to speak to us. You can do this by calling us on 101 or contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

“We are not looking to criminalise any witnesses for where they may have been, we simply want to offer Jamie’s family some understanding of the events which led up to his passing.”
