A 37-year-old woman who was yesterday being interviewed by police in conection with the incident has been released without charge.

The 42-year-old, from Cotgrave in Nottingham, was found stabbed on Turner Drive in Worksop just after 3am on Sunday 26th November. He was taken to Bassetlaw Hospital but died later from his injuries.

A post-mortem carried out on Sunday revealed that Mr Sanderson died from a single stab wound.
