Overview

• Merseyside Police said officers were called at about 8:30 p.m. on August 26 to a Toxteth address near Princes Park, where Arobieke was pronounced dead at the scene and a file was passed to the Liverpool and Wirral coroner.
• He became a notorious local figure for allegedly approaching men to touch or measure muscles, served six years in 2003 for harassing 15 men, and was never convicted of a sexual offence.
• A Sexual Offences Prevention Order later barred specific conduct such as touching men’s muscles or attending gyms; he was convicted of breaching it in 2015 before ultimately overturning the order after representing himself.
• His 1986 manslaughter conviction over the death of Gary Kelly was quashed by the Court of Appeal, a ruling he later cited in disputing how his actions were portrayed.
• In 2022 he received a substantial payout after suing Greater Manchester Police for malicious prosecution, as new tabloid reports cite unnamed sources alleging underworld ties that are not corroborated in the records referenced elsewhere.
