MURDER PROBE ARRESTS Ravensthorpe pair grilled by police while another man facing charge for assisting an offender THREE men were arrested after police began a murder probe into the death of a Polish man in Ravensthorpe last month. Two suspects, aged 25 and 20, were detained on suspicion of murder while a 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. All three suspects, who are from Ravensthorpe, were arrested on Wednesday and were still in custody that night. The investigation centres on the death of Marcin Siarczylski, 37, whose body was found in a wooded area near the canal off Low Mill Lane on March 14. Mr Siarczylski is believed to have been in the UK for 12 years and was living in Halifax as of July 2014. His death, one of several on or close to local waterways around that time, was initially treated
By Staff Reporters as unexplained. Police appealed for information about Mr Siarczlyski’s lifestyle and movements prior to his death. Det chief Insp Mark Swift, of the Homicide and Major Enquiries Team, said new details had come to light following the appeal. He said: “We would like to thank the public for their response to our appeal last week. “As a result new information has come to light which suggests that Mr Siarczylski may have been murdered. “Three men have been arrested in connection with this inquiry and remain in custody.” Enquiries are continuing. Anyone with information can call the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team via 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
