Incident reference 74 of 27 March.

To protect the integrity of our investigation and out of respect for the family affected, we are issuing a clear warning to anyone who has shared, reposted, or engaged with this content to stop immediately.

We are aware that CCTV footage relating to the death of Danny Fowler in Market Rasen, is being circulated on social media. We believe this to be privately owned footage that has been shared by a member of the public and is not from a public service organisation or agency.

The sharing of this material poses a significant risk to the integrity of our ongoing investigation. Furthermore, at the heart of this investigation, is a grieving family who should not be confronted with such material online.

Legal proceedings are active, and four individuals have been charged in connection with this incident.

The investigation remains active and ongoing.

Sharing CCTV extracts may amount to contempt of court, an offence that can carry a penalty of up to two years’ imprisonment and/or a fine.

We are deeply concerned by the circulation of this footage- Beyond risking to jeopardise our investigation, this causes additional distress to the grieving family of the victim.

To protect the integrity of our investigation and out of respect for the family affected, we are issuing a clear warning to anyone who has shared, reposted, or engaged with this content to stop immediately.

We can now confirm that the man who sadly died following an incident in Union Street in Market Rasen on Thursday evening (12 March), was 37-year-old Danny Fowler, who was from Newtoft, Market Rasen.

A postmortem has confirmed that Danny died from the injuries sustained from multiple stab wounds. Our thoughts very much remain with his family and loved ones at this time, and they are being supported by specialist officers.

We have made two further arrests yesterday (Friday 13 March), a 23-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, on suspicion of manslaughter.
