Forensic officers have spent the day examining evidence in the cordoned-off Central Park skate park in connection with the investigation into the death of Colin Evans
Two officers were spotted this afternoon (Wednesday, October 1) scanning a collection of objects, which included water bottles, a bottle of tomato ketchup, a stereo and a lantern, laid out on a half pipe.
The entire skate park was cordoned off from around 7.45pm yesterday (September 30) after 39-year-old Mr Evans was found dead at about 8.30am in his flat at homeless charity Sanctus in Broomfield Road.
Essex Police has remained tight lipped as to why they have chosen to examine evidence at the skate park."The area has been cordoned as part of a forensic investigation in connection with the murder investigation," a police spokesman said.
"We are not willing to go into the ins and outs but all we can say is it's been cordoned-off to capture any forensics opportunities."
A 29-year-old man is still being questioned in police custody on suspicion of murder.
Anyone with information should call detectives at Chelmsford police on 101.
