Left with a severe head injury, he later died, but his killer has never been identified. Detectives were left baffled from the start, finding no clear motive or suspect in what appeared to be a motiveless murder. Normansell, who had spent the evening out drinking, was attacked on a fairly busy street near the town center—not far from where a large Sainsbury’s supermarket now stands.
