M4 death investigated online after ‘hunter’ sting

A person found dead on M4 was arrested hours ago after being confronted by a self-declared “online Child Protection Team”.

Avon and Somerset Police arrested the man on Friday night when the allegations against him were made live stream on social media.

He was released from police custody on police on Saturday and was later found dead on the motorway near Bristol. They were not crime.

Due to police contact, a mandatory referral has been created for the independent office of police conduct.

The police urged people not to speculate to respect the confidentiality of the man’s family.

The group that faced him also asked people to “allow their family to mourn in a respectable manner”.

The motorway was closed for several hours while the authorities investigated.

At that time, a police spokesperson said: “We understand that in the 40s with witnesses a man had fallen from a height and later killed by vehicles traveling between Junction 20 (almonds) and 21 (Arkley) Was.

“Death is considered as non-gesture and its next family is being offered support during this difficult time.

“Our thoughts remain with them any sympathy.”
