A 63-year-old man has died after being attacked by three men who broke into his home posing as Border Force officials.
Murder cops have launched an investigation following the man’s death in hospital, seventeen days after the attack in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
The gang forced their way into his home between 8.45pm and 10pm on November 25, and were dressed in black.
It is not yet known whether the men were driving a vehicle, but detectives want to speak to anyone in the area who may have heard or seen something suspicious.
Detective Chief Inspector Adam Pendlebury said: ‘I would urge everyone in the local area to review any CCTV, doorbell or dash cam footage they might have which could help our investigation.
