Bushey murder suspect to receive treatment 'for some time'

On Wednesday, July 10, the 26-year-old was found injured in Enfield and taken to a major trauma centre in a “serious” condition, meaning Herts Police did not arrest him until Thursday evening. 

The force later confirmed that, due to his condition, the usual requirement for police to charge a suspect within 24 or 48 hours, or release them on bail, does not apply.

In a further update today (July 18), a police spokesperson said: “He remains under arrest and will continue to receive treatment for some time.

"We are not able to put a specific timeframe on this and will be guided by healthcare professionals.
