Man Killed In Cambrian Vaults Public House
Update: Thursday June 27th
A 45 year old local man arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday remains in custody being questioned by detectives.
At approximately 12.43am on Wednesday 26th June 2013 North Wales Police were called to the Cambrian Vaults Public House in Town Hill Wrexham where a 34 year old man from Llay had received fatal injuries.
A post mortem examination was conducted yesterday evening (Wednesday 26th) and Police Officers and next of kin will now carry out the formal identification. HM Coroner for North East Wales has been updated however the deceased name is not being disclosed at this time.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Supt. Graham Talbot said “Despite a local man having been arrested the investigation is still very much in its infancy and further progress will rely on evidence carefully gathered from the scene, which is why the Public House is still considered a crime scene. Witnesses are helping us build a full picture not just of the evenings events but also of any background information or history. I am therefore renewing my appeal for anyone who was in the Cambrian Vaults Public House on the evening of Wednesday 26th June 2013, or who has any information at all about this incident to come forward and speak to Police.
“Specially trained Police Family Liaison Officers are deployed to the victims’ family and on their behalf I’d urge If you have any information, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, to make contact with Police.”
If you have any information regarding this incident contact Police on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Original story from yesterday:
Town Hill is partially closed off after a man was killed in the Cambrian Vaults public house overnight.
Crime scene investigators have been working in and around the public house from the early hours of this morning.
Police have said “A 45- year-old Wrexham man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following an incident in the town centre.”
“Police were called to the Cambrian Hotel on Town Hill, Wrexham, at 00.43 this morning following a report that a man had been seriously injured.”
“The 34-year-old man from the Llay area of Wrexham was pronounced dead at the scene. The scene has been cordoned off and police are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have been in the pub around the time of the incident.”
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Superintendent Graham Talbot said: “I am appealing for witnesses who were either in the public house between 6pm yesterday and 1.30 am today, or in that vicinity – to come forward and provide police with their details.”
“The scene remains cordoned off and officers are making progress with their enquiries. A 45-year-old local man remains in custody.”
A Home Office post mortem will be conducted later this afternoon and HM Coroner has been informed.
The police cordon extends around the public toilets on the corner of Brook Street, with police also close to the St Giles car park. There is no access from Brook St to Town Hill. No access from top of Town Hill to Brook Street roughly from Perelli’s downwards.
Police redirecting pedestrians at top of Town Hill to avoid the taped off area.
Overall there is a strong police presence in town and officers were also patrolling the Vicarage Hill area.
More as we have it.
