Police update on the tragic death of a man in Ryde earlier this week. Our thoughts are with Mr Wray’s family and friends. Ed


Police are now in a position to name the man whose body was found in Ryde on Monday (June 13).

Jolyon Barry Wray, 46, was found dead at a flat in East Hill Road, just before 4pm.

A Home Office post mortem examination was carried out yesterday (June 14); we can confirm that Mr Wray died as a result of a single stab wound.

A 53-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody.

The family, who are being supported by specialist officers, has asked for privacy at this very difficult time and we would urge media to respect their wishes.
