CCTV image released in connection with man who died in Audlem

Detectives investigating the murder of a man in Audlem have released a CCTV image to establish the movements leading up to his death.

Andrew Guy died following an alleged assault at an address on Stafford Street.

It is believed to have occurred between approximately 6.50pm and 7.30pm on Saturday 16 October.

As part of the investigation detectives have been conducting numerous enquiries into the 54-year-olds movements that day. 

Those enquiries have led officers to believe Andrew was in the Buerton area from 11.40am until approximately 4pm.

Andrew then travelled on the A41 towards Stoke Heath in a grey VW Polo.

Shortly after 5pm he drove to the Whitchurch area and at 6.40pm made his way to Audlem.

After leaving the address in Audlem Andrew drove in a grey VW Polo to Weatherspoons in Market Drayton where CCTV images showed him outside the pub at around 9pm. 

He stayed in this area and attended a Chinese takeaway for 15 minutes at 9.40pm before driving to Buerton in Crewe. 

His body was found the following day on Sunday 17 October.

Detective Inspector Adam Waller, from Cheshire Constabulary’s Major Investigation Team, said: “Establishing Andrew’s movements the day of his death is key to our investigation.

“I am appealing to members of the public to come forward if they saw Andrew on Saturday 16 October or may have captured CCTV and dash cam footage of his movements.

“I would also encourage anyone who knew Andrew while he was living in Bournemouth to get in touch.”

A 43-year-old man has been charged with murder and been remanded in custody until he appears at Chester Crown Court on 10 November.

A 40-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on conditional bail.
