A 63-year-old man who died 17 days after being brutally attacked on his doorstep by three men posing as Border Agency officials has been named by police. Martin Truett was assaulted during the suspected botched robbery when he opened his door to the trio of thugs in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, on November 25.
Emergency services were called after Mr Truett was attacked outside his home in Highfield Road by the men - including one who was armed with a screwdriver. He was taken to hospital where he sadly died on December 12 prompting detectives to launch a murder investigation.
Police say Mr Truett had answered the door to three males wearing black, who claimed to be from the Border Agency, sometime between 8.45pm and 10pm. So far no arrests have been made and Northamptonshire Police is now appealing for any witnesses or those with information to get in touch.
