A 23-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with murder following the death of Harrogate man Mark Wolsey.
The 48-year-old was found with serious injuries in a flat in Mayfield Grove on Friday night.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Yesterday, police reassured residents that this was a “contained incident”, meaning the public was not at risk.
The suspect was detained very quickly.
A strong police presence has continued in the area today, with extra patrols to reassure those living and working nearby.
Detective Superintendent Fran Naughton, who is leading the investigation, said: “We can confirm this was a contained incident. “However, many residents will be understandably anxious about what has happened. "There will be a greater police presence in the area, which we hope residents will find reassuring, and officers will be working closely with the community."
