CCTV released after man's death

Police said these two men could provide vital clues

Police investigating the death of a man who was found lying on the pavement in Warwickshire have released CCTV images showing two men they want to trace.

Paul William Smith, 54, was found in Rugby with an injury to the back of his head that police believe may have been caused by a brick-like object.

Mr Smith, from Rugby, was discovered in Clifton Road early on Saturday.

A 15-year-old was arrested and bailed over the death. Police said the two men on CCTV could have vital information.

The Warwickshire force said hospital staff tried to resuscitate Mr Smith, of Biart Place, but he was declared dead at 0200 BST on Saturday.

'Same route'

Shortly before he was found on the pavement he is believed to have walked along Clifton Road away from the town centre.

Police said Mr Smith stopped to talk to a man at a bus stop, next to Bargain Booze, for two minutes at about 0050 BST.

The Warwickshire force said the man did not get on the bus and a few minutes later walked off away from town and may have turned left into Bath Street

Mr Smith died in hospital at 0200 BST on Saturday

The second man police are keen to speak to is believed to have followed the same route as Mr Smith, about two minutes behind him.

Police said when Mr Smith reached the Murray Road roundabout, he walked left around the roundabout. He then crossed over Murray Road and walked away from town along Clifton Road at 0055 BST.

Mr Smith was later found lying on the pavement opposite the cemetery on Clifton Road.

Police would like to speak to both men who they said could hold important information.

A spokesman for Warwickshire Police added: "Investigations are ongoing but we do not believe either man is involved in Mr Smith's death."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Rugby CID or Crimestoppers.
