No charges for those arrested in connection with the death of a man will be brought due to "insufficient evidence", the crown prosecution service has confirmed.
James Richards, 33, was found dead by a member of the public in an alleyway between Woodbine Street and Harebell Street, Kirkdale, on September 22, 2021. Three men, aged 22, 32 and 38, and a woman, aged 32, were arrested on suspicion of murder but then released on bail.
Merseyside Police confirmed that so far, no-one has been charged in connection with Mr Richards' death. Last year, the ECHO reported that Merseyside Police confirmed Mr Richards' cause of death was a single stab wound to the abdomen.
