Police warning as 'highly graphic footage' emerges online following man's death in Wrexham

Police in Wrexham have issued a warning about "highly graphic footage" being circulated on social media following the death of a 19-year-old man.

Officers were called to Eglwysfan in Rhosymedre, Wrexham on Sunday 11 July where they said a man was found dead at a property.

He has since been named as Kyle Patrick Walley whose family described him as "caring, loving and kind."

An 18-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

In a statement, Detective Inspector Chris Bell said enquiries are ongoing but it is believed to be an "isolated incident" with "no cause for further concern".

DI Bell added he is urging the public not to share a video which officers are aware has been "widely circulated on social media".

"Family Liaison Officers are currently providing support to the victim’s family, and out of respect, I would like to stress the importance of nothing being placed in the public domain that could cause further distress, or indeed prejudice any potential future trial.

"This includes, but is not limited to naming or speculation as to the identity of any individuals connected with this incident".

Following Kyle's death, his family said in a tribute they are "absolutely devastated."

“Kyle, you were just 19, with your whole life ahead of you, our boy; you were caring, loving and kind.

"You made us laugh, made us smile, you had so much to look forward to: college apprenticeship in September and so much more.

“We are absolutely devastated. You will be greatly missed by so many , you had the biggest smile and sense of humour; all the love in the world from Mum , Dad, Lee, Johnathan, Caitlin, Nanna, Aunty and everyone who knew you.”

North Wales Police said if anyone has any information which could help with the investigation, then to contact them on 101.
