Wortley murder inquiry after death of delivery driver

Det Ch Insp James Entwistle said: “Our investigation remains at an early stage but, based on what we currently know, this appears to be a truly shocking incident where the victim has been killed while going about his business as a parcel delivery driver.

“His family has been informed and they are completely devastated about what has happened.

“We are working to support them at what is a really difficult time and are doing everything we can to get them the answers they need.”

Det Ch Insp Entwistle added that “extensive inquiries” were being carried out to establish what had happened and “to identify the person whose incredibly dangerous actions have been responsible for causing his death”.

The force urged anyone with information to get in touch.

Amazon confirmed that the driver had been contracted to deliver parcels for the firm.

A spokesperson said: “This is a terrible incident and our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the delivery driver’s loved ones, family and colleagues at our delivery service provider.

“We will do all we can to assist police with their investigations.”
