Third man questioned over murder

James Latimer had his sights set on a career in sports journalism

Murder detectives investigating the death of a man who died after being injured as he broke up a fight have arrested a third man.

James Latimer, 22, of Dearne Walk, Bedford, was found with head injuries in the early hours of Sunday outside a takeaway in Midland Road, Bedford.

He was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge where he died on Monday.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is now being interviewed by police.

Mr Latimer, who had his sights set on a career in sports journalism, worked part-time in a shop and lived with his father, Billy, mother, Helen, his brother Andrew, 18, and sister, Sarah, 15.

Two men, aged 18 and 21, who were arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, have now been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

A large group of people were involved in a disturbance in the street shortly before Mr Latimer was found, police said.

A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Latimer died from severe head injuries.
