After viewing CCTV footage of Mr Zmicerevskis movements before the incident, Lincolnshire Police have released descriptions of people they’d like to speak to who may be able to help with the investigation.
“We would like to emphasise that these people are not in any trouble whatsoever, we would simply like to speak to them about what they may have witnessed during the moments leading up to the altercation,” a police spokesman said. “There are four key witnesses seen on CCTV that we are urgently wanting to speak with.
“If you match any of the following descriptions, we would like to speak to you straightaway.”
