Overview

• Stuart Coldicott, known as Stewie, suffered a serious head injury in February 2014 in Colchester, which left him paraplegic.
• After his death in March 2024, a post-mortem examination established a causal link between the head injury and his death.
• Essex Police launched a fresh investigation, uncovering new evidence that led to the arrest of a 61-year-old man on suspicion of murder.
• The original investigation in 2014 could not conclusively link the injury to a specific assault, although a related assault led to a conviction.
• Mr. Coldicott's family remembers him for his humor and requests privacy during their time of grief.
