A murder investigation has been launched after a guest fell three floors to his death at a Grade-II listed hotel recently visited by Princess Anne.
DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENED
Emergency services rushed to the 17th century Hind Hotel in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, at 11.30pm on Sunday, following reports that a man in his 30s had fallen from a third-floor window onto the street below.Â
Despite the efforts of paramedics, the man was pronounced dead at the scene at 12.30am on Monday.
A 34-year-old man, from Rushden, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.
The three-star hotel, which dates back to the 1600’s, was visited by the Princess Royal back in February where she met volunteers from an anti-knife crime charity.
Ravaun Jones, from Off the Streets North Northamptonshire, gave her a demonstration of a bleed control kit and a knife amnesty bin.
