Two 21-year-old Northampton men arrested on suspicion of the murder of Tommy Boom

Yesterday afternoon (Friday), with support from West Midlands Police, two 21-year-old Northampton men were arrested in the Birmingham area.

Both were arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody today (Saturday), according to Northamptonshire Police.

A 45-year-old Northampton woman has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and is also in police custody.

Tommy, aged 30, died in Millers Meadow – known locally as Semilong Park – shortly after midnight on Thursday, July 18.

A forensic post-mortem showed he died as a result of a stab wound to the chest and had also suffered a second stab wound to his right arm.

His family has been notified of the three arrests and continue to be supported by specialist officers.

Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell said: “The investigation into Tommy’s death continues to move at pace, supported by a large team of detectives and specialist officers.

“We are in regular contact with his family and will continue to update them on our progress as well as offer all the support we can at this incredibly difficult time.

“If you have not already spoken to us, please get in touch to share what you know to help us ensure justice for Tommy and his family.”

Four people previously arrested in connection with Tommy’s death were yesterday (July 19) released with no further action after being eliminated from enquiries.

A neighbourhood policing presence remains in the Semilong area this weekend and anyone with concerns is encouraged to speak to officers.
