Man, 19, arrested on suspicion of murdering Sam Rimmer

Two men were arrested over the murder of Sam Rimmer.

Sam was shot dead on Lavrock Bank, in Dingle, at around 11.40pm on August 16, last year. He had been with a group of friends when two suspects, riding electric bikes, drove into the cul-de-sac and fired a number of shots towards the group.

The 22-year-old was shot and died a short time later in hospital. Detectives have now confirmed they've arrested two more people in connection with the shooting.

Both men were interviewed and released on conditional bail as enquiries continue. This brings the total of arrests in connection with the murder of Sam to 10.

Detective inspector John Holden said: "I’d urge anyone who holds information and has yet to come forward to please do so. Please don’t assume with the passage of time that we already have this information or make a guess as to how significant it might be.
