An Essex man arrested on suspicion of murder over the death of Linas Buta in Wales will face no further action.

A 40-year-old Essex man arrested on suspicion of murder will face no further action, North Wales Police confirmed. He was arrested in April in connection with the death of 49-year-old Linas Buta, who died at a property in Bryn Glas, Rhos, near Wrexham, on Friday, March 27. He was released on bail while investigations continued but police have now released him with no further action following a review of the evidence.

Police had previously said Mr Buta died with a head injury. Officers had appealed for information after believing he had been involved in a physical altercation at Bonc Wen Car Park in Rhos the day before his death.

The force said its investigation into Mr Buta's death has now been closed and that a report is being compiled for the coroner. Detective Inspector Rob Mahoney said: 'Following a comprehensive review of the evidence in this case, the police investigation into Linas Buta's death has been closed. Our thoughts remain with his family. I would like to thank all members of the public who contacted us at the time to assist with our enquiries.'
