Detective Inspector Rebecca Woods emphasized, "We are continuing with enquiries as part of this murder investigation following Jim's death. I appreciate that this was a concerning incident, with many members of the public witnessing and providing first aid to Jim." This indicates the seriousness of the investigation and the need for public assistance to ensure justice.
The unfortunate incident occurred on October 6, when James O'Neill collapsed in Odhams Walk after being assaulted. Despite immediate medical response, he succumbed to his injuries two weeks later.
The initial charge against Trevor John Gocan was grievous bodily harm, but following Jim's death, it has been upgraded to murder, reflecting the significant change in circumstances surrounding the case.
The family of Mr. O'Neill is receiving support from specialist officers as they navigate the aftermath of this tragic incident, highlighting the community and police's role in providing care during such crises.
