TWO women have had their police bail extended as the investigation into the death of a 59-year-old man continues.
Barrie Lee died following a late-night argument as he was on his way home from Langley Park Workingmen's Club, near Durham.
Mr Lee, who had spent the night in the club with his wife, Christine, was found late on Tuesday, March 25, unconscious in Rose Terrace, yards from his Ivy Terrace home.
He suffered a single blow to his head and did not regain consciousness. He died in Newcastle General Hospital later that week, when his life support machine was switched off.
Two local women, aged 43 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of assault and were due to answer their police bail this week.
Police confirmed last night that the pair would now not answer bail until next month.
