Heartfelt tributes have been pouring in for 68-year-old Harry Turner, who tragically passed away on Christmas Day following a “disturbance” in St Asaph, Denbighshire. Harry, a former sailor and beloved family man, sadly died in hospital after the incident.
The Turner family described Harry as one of six siblings, who proudly served in the Navy and later worked in London, Ireland, and Rhyl. They expressed their deep loss, saying he will be “sadly missed” by all who knew him.
On that fateful Christmas Day, emergency services were called to a home on High Street, St Asaph, just after midday. Despite their efforts, Harry succumbed to his injuries later that day. A 66-year-old man has been charged with his murder and was due to appear in Llandudno Magistrates Court.
North Wales Police continue to investigate and urge anyone who was near the Old Palace flats and may have seen or heard anything suspicious to come forward. Detective Chief Inspector Eleri Thomas assures the community that a police presence remains in the area for reassurance and added that they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.
