Adam Bailey, 49, was found dead at his home in Tamer Road, Sleaford, in February

A 44-year-old woman has become the fourth person to be arrested following the death of a man in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.

Adam Bailey, 49, was found dead at his home in Tamer Road on 16 February.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of murder and has been released on bail.

Two 16-year-old boys and a 34-year-old man were also arrested last month.

Officers investigating Mr Bailey's death have released CCTV footage from when they believe he was last seen

Police are continuing to look for information about Mr Bailey in the time leading up to his death.

He is believed to have visited Lloyds Bank on Northgate between 11 February and 16 February and also frequented the Tamer Road and Boston Road areas.

Officers said he may have talked to a man outside the bank in the days before his death and could have been seen by people at a nearby pub.

As the time the investigation was launched, Det Insp Andrew McWatt said he was "keeping an open mind" about the circumstances surrounding Mr Bailey's death.

There is an ongoing appeal for witnesses as well as for dashcam and doorbell footage taken in the area around Mr Bailey's home.
