Written by HFM News on 2nd September 2021
A 71-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a woman in Market Harborough has been released with no further action.
He was questioned and released on bail last November, following the death of 70-year-old Elaine Geoghegan, who was found in the back garden of her home in Shelland Close, in August 2019.
Leicestershire Police, who launched a murder investigation following enquiries carried out since the death, say following a full investigation there is insufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal enquiry.
A post mortem examination concluded the cause of Mrs Geoghegan’s death was unascertained.
Detective Inspector Nicole Main said: “This has been a complex case which has been fully investigated over the past two years to establish the circumstances of Mrs Geoghegan’s death.
“Following these enquiries, a man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has now been released with no further action.
“Thank you to everyone who has assisted us with our enquiries and the team of officers and staff who have worked so hard on this investigation to establish the full facts.
“Our thoughts remain with the family of Mrs Geoghegan.”
