In a shocking new twist to the ongoing investigation into the mysterious death of boxing legend Ricky Hatton, a leaked forensic report has surfaced — and its contents are nothing short of explosive.
According to insider sources within the Greater Manchester Police, medical examiners discovered distinct bruising around Hatton’s neck and wrists, consistent with signs of forceful restraint — a revelation that could completely rewrite the official narrative of what happened in his final moments.
“The bruises form a circular pattern, almost like someone grabbed or restrained him from behind,” an anonymous forensic source revealed to The Sun.
“They weren’t self-inflicted — and they weren’t caused by a fall. This looks deliberate.”
⚠️ The Disturbing Discovery
The leaked images, reportedly captured during Hatton’s autopsy, show finger-shaped marks across his neck and light abrasions around his wrists — evidence that investigators now believe may indicate a struggle or manual restraint before his death.
Experts believe the marks could have been caused by a cord, belt, or even bare hands, suggesting a possible physical altercation with someone Hatton knew and trusted.
“Whoever did this wasn’t a stranger,” said criminal profiler Dr. Adrian Marks, speaking to Daily Express Online.
“The lack of forced entry and Hatton’s relaxed posture before the incident imply he let this person in willingly — perhaps someone close to him.”
🔍 Police Now Pursuing “Close-Contact Scenario”
Detectives are reportedly re-examining Hatton’s phone records, visitor logs, and DNA evidence collected from the scene — including male genetic material found under his fingernails (reported in a previous leak).
The emerging theory?
Hatton may have been restrained during an argument or attacked by someone he trusted — possibly a friend, business associate, or intimate partner.
One investigator described the development as “the moment the case turned from mystery to potential homicide.”
💬 What the Family Is Saying
Hatton’s mother, who has spoken emotionally in previous interviews, told reporters she “never believed” her son’s death was self-inflicted.
“He was scared of someone, I could see it,” she said through tears.
“Now these bruises prove he didn’t go peacefully — someone hurt him.”
Family friends claim Hatton had been acting nervous in the days leading up to his death — often checking over his shoulder, avoiding phone calls, and mentioning that “someone he used to trust” had turned on him.
🧩 More Questions Than Answers
Authorities are still refusing to comment publicly on the leaked findings, but insiders suggest the case has quietly been upgraded to a suspicious-death inquiry.
The new forensic revelations now raise a haunting list of possibilities:
-
Was Hatton restrained during a confrontation that turned deadly?
-
Did he uncover something — or someone — that led to his downfall?
-
And if the bruises indicate an intentional act… why has no one been charged yet?
