The man arrested Tuesday in connection with the tragic death of hockey player Adam Johnson during a match between the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers on October 28 has been released on bail.
Sheffield Police announced this in a brief press release.
“The man arrested and suspected of murder, arrested yesterday [14 novembre] in connection with the death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson, has been released on bail. Our investigation continues and we will provide further details when we can.”
The day before, the arrest of a man had caused a lot of noise and, while some media had claimed that the suspect in question was the player Matt Petgrave, whose skate slit Johnson’s throat during the October 28 game, his identity has never been confirmed.
“We have spoken with specialist experts in their field to assist us in our investigation. We continue to work closely with Sheffield City Council’s health and safety department, who are supporting our investigation,” Sheffield authorities said.
“Adam’s death came as a shock to many communities, both our Sheffield residents and all hockey fans around the world. We know that these communities expect us to treat this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other investigation. We ask members of the public to refrain from any comments or speculation that might hinder this process. Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by this devastating incident as the investigation continues.”
