Police are investigating the suspicious death of a 25-year-old man which occurred in Maranboy.

Detective Sergeant Andy Bedwell of the Northern Investigation Section said Police were called to Roper Creek on the Central Arnhem Road at around 11:30 pm on Friday night.

“It was reported to Police that a man had drowned in the creek opposite the bar,” Detective Sergeant Bedwell said.

“Clinic staff were in attendance upon Police arrival and had declared the man deceased.

In a separate incident, a 33-year-old man received facial injuries during an altercation at the same location and was conveyed to Barunga Clinic.
