A man from Peterborough last week arrested in Skegness has now been charged with murder and possession of a firearm.
Lewis Hutchinson, 29, of Eastern Avenue, Dogsthorpe was arrested in Skegness late on Thursday, April 14, after Cambridgeshire Police launched a murder investigation after the death of a 29-year-old man by the name of Mihai Dobre.
Police were called to Crabtree in Paston at 12.34am on Wednesday, April 13 with reports of a gunshot being heard.
Paramedics joined officers at the scene and took Mr Dobre, of Oundle Road, Peterborough, to hospital, but he was sadly pronounced dead at 8.03pm the same day.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Tuesday, April 19, and Hutchinson has been charged on Monday morning with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence.
Detective Inspector Richard Stott, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “We are continuing with our enquiries and I am still very keen to hear from the local community.
“With this latest development, I hope this provides some reassurance and I would urge anyone who has not yet spoken with us to come forward.
“We continue to have family liaison officers who are supporting Mihai’s family at this very difficult time and are working closely with neighbourhood teams and local investigative resources to provide additional, dedicated patrols in the area.”

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
