4 men who were arrested on suspicion of conspiring to murder 33-year-old Scott Cooper in Ryde have been released with no further action.
Police attended a flat in George Street on the afternoon of Tuesday 4th January this year where the body of Scott, who was from Newport, was discovered.
On Tuesday 15th March, 4 men aged 25, 28, 29 and 41 respectively were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder as part of Operation Amaryllis.
They have since all been released with no further action in relation to this offence.
In addition to this, the men aged 28 and 29 had previously been arrested in January on suspicion of murder. The 29-year-old has now been released with no further action in relation to this offence, and the 28-year-old remains on bail for this offence until 5th July.
38-year-old Piers Carl Brazier, of George Street in Ryde, was previously charged with murder and is due before the Crown Court in June.

So, the victims loved one are suffering even more then, an unsolved murder, and the killer is still at large….unbelievable after all the forensic expert’s investigations and nothing to show for it.
Things are not cotia , maybe a set up towards the guy in prison, police had enough to arrest these other men in 1st place meant they had evidence ?.
I think you might want to read the article again..
I have, this time I’ve read all of it….your right I’ve got it wrong…
Erm, were you reading the same report? These people were arrested for CONSPIRACY to murder, not murder. The alleged murderer is yet to stand trial.
The CPS obviously have enough evidence to secure a conviction against the murderer, otherwise he would’ve also been released. As far as I can see, the case will be heard at Crown Court in June.
You doughnut! Read the article again ! Someone had been charged with the murder
I can only assume the investigators in this case have seriously fucked up and these men have got off on a technicality
Or perhaps… maybe just maybe… wait for it… the police got it wrong.
Read the article again and you may change your opinion
Maybe the huge screw up by the police that lead to the crime going un noticed on the first visit to the property by police and the findings in the investigation by the I.P.C.
Meant that to charge the other men would bring to light the failures in procedures that will now no doubt go un answered for by Hampshire constabulary.
Justice for Scott and his family .
38 year old Piers Brazier has been charged with murder, is in custody, waiting to go to Crown Court in June.
So all the negative, sh*t slinging comments about the Police getting it wrong. You all obviously didn’t read the post properly did you!
And yet how many hours did it take them to roll up to the scene after a few phone calls informing them of a body ?..by the time they arrived then forensics those idjeets released could have cleaned the place and most of Ryde!of any valuable forensic evidence..
So all the hype, time and money spent on this serious incident has resulted in zilch happening – unbelievable – the rot in Government must be spreading further than we thought.
Hype? You mean shock at this terrible event maybe? Time and money should be spent on this serious incident, as it was, unfortunately the standards of any public service on the island are sub standard, so sub standard results are achieved. Much like most of the comments on this website.
thats about right then…
No sympathy for any of them.. they are all wrong ones and a waste of oxygen.. who move in scum circles, they know it, their family know it, we know it… let them get on with a self cull.
