    A murder investigation has been launched after a 49-year-old man died in the Wrexham area.

    Detectives are now appealing for information in connection with the death.

    Shortly after midday on Friday, 27 March, officers attended a property in Rhosllanerchrugog, where a man had died from a head injury.

    The coroner has been informed.

    Officers remain at the scene of the property in Rhos as the investigation, which remains in the early stages, is ongoing.

    Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Rob Mahoney is appealing for information.

    He said: “We understand through CCTV enquiries the victim was involved in a physical altercation at around midday on Thursday, 26 March on the Bonc Wen Car Park in Rhos.

    “At the time, several people are seen to have walked past, while a number of cars were parked in the car park.

    “I am asking anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone who was parked in the car park at the time and may have dashcam footage, to get in touch with officers.”

    DI Mahoney added: “I would like to reassure the community that we are treating this as an isolated incident, and whilst the community will be concerned I do not believe there is any wider risk to the public.

    “I am also asking the community to continue to support officers as they make the necessary enquiries.

    “Our thoughts remain with the man’s family at this difficult time.”

    Anyone with information that could assist with the investigation is asked to contact North Wales Police on 101, or via the website, using reference number O045989.
