A MURDER investigation has been closed after a man was informed he faces no further action over a death on Christmas Day last year.

The 38-year-old man was arrested on Boxing Day last year after a 33-year-old man was found dead at home on Clay Street in Workington on December 25, 2023.

The suspect was released on police bail while investigations continued to ascertain the exact circumstances of the man's death.

Cumbria Police have now confirmed that the investigation is closed and is not being treated as a criminal matter.

The man arrested and bailed has been informed that he faces no further action with regards the man’s death.
