A second suspect has been arrested by police investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash.
Jordan Stillwell, 22, was held after the death of Russell Ward, 65, who was hit by a motorbike in Priory Road, Hastings, in May.
Mr Ward was crossing the road when the crash happened and he died at the scene. The motorbike failed to stop.
Previously, police arrested Reuben Nelson, 20. Both suspects are from Hastings. The pair have been bailed.
Earlier this month, Mr Ward’s family paid tribute to him. His sister Nicki said: “Our Big Brother – always had an appropriate or risqué joke for any occasion. With old-fashioned values, a real man’s man, who understood and protected a lady’s honour.
“Russell was a keen sportsman and a team player. He had great knowledge of sports trivia and had an outstanding memory for musical scores and never forgot a melody once he had played it.
“Food was important to my big brother. We enjoyed replicating our traditional family recipes. He invited me to eat with him often. I will always miss him.”
Sussex Police said today (Wednesday 17 July): “Twenty-two-year-old Jordan Stillwell, who was wanted in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision in Hastings on Sunday 5 May, has been arrested.
“Both he and 20-year-old Reuben Nelson – who was also arrested after being circulated as wanted – have been bailed with strict conditions as the investigation continues.
“The family of the victim – 65-year-old local man Russell Ward – paid tribute to him on the two-month anniversary of his death.
“Anyone with any information about the incident, including any relevant footage, is asked to email collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk quoting Operation Cronus.”
