Death of former Big Issue seller in Sheffield no longer treated as murder by police
The death of a former Big Issue seller found after a house fire in Sheffield is no longer being treated as murder.
Robert Marcin Kostucha, aged 42 and originally from Poland, was found at dead in a house on Sackville Road, Crookes, in the early hours of Saturday, November 30.
He was discovered when firefighters responded to reports of a fire at the property.
An initial post examination proved inconclusive and a murder probe was launched, with two men, aged 35 and 38-years-old, arrested over the death alongside two two 19-year-old women.
They were released under investigation after being held on suspicion of murder.
But detectives who investigated the death have now ruled out foul play and handed over the case file to the coroner for South Yorkshire for an inquest to be held at a later date.
Mr Kostucha was well known as a former Big Issue seller in Sheffield.
