TWO MEN arrested on suspicion of murdering 57 year old prison officer Nick Medlin have been released by Isle of Wight police with no further action being taken.
The two men aged 31 and 36 answered bail at Newport Police Station last week.
Mr Medlin died in the early hours of Christmas Day after hitting his head on the pavement following an alleged altercation in Ventnor High Street.
Michael John Hudson, of no fixed address, pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Medlin when he appeared at Winchester Crown Court.
His trial is due to take place at Winchester on July 2.
