A MURDER investigation has been launched following the death of a 58-year-old from the area.
The man was 'badly assaulted' in the Thomas Street / Mount Pleasant area of Holyhead.
The incident happened between 10am and 11am on Tuesday, November 17.
DCI Brian Kearney said: “From inquiries to date, we have established that the victim managed to walk the short distance down Thomas Street past the Cenotaph to his partner’s address near Holborn Road, Holyhead.
"Shortly after the assault, the victim was taken by emergency ambulance to Ysbyty Gwynedd and transferred later that evening to the Royal Stoke University Hospital. Despite the best efforts of the medical teams he tragically died last night, Thursday November 19 2020 with his family by his side.
"The victim’s family are obviously deeply traumatised and are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. I would request that their privacy is respected at this tragic time.
"I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this assault or saw a male unsteady on his feet between Holborn Road, Victoria Road and Thomas Street between 10am 11am on Tuesday, November 17 or has any other relevant information in relation to this murder enquiry to contact North Wales Police.
