A 24-year-old man arrested in connection with the death of a teacher in Barmouth has been released with no further action.

Ruhul Nana, 34, died following an incident in the water at Barmouth beach on Monday, 25 May.

A murder investigation was launched following the death and the 24-year-old was held in custody for a time for initial enquiries to be made.

Almost five months later, the investigation into the death has now been closed and no further action will be taken against the 24-year-old man who was arrested.

North Wales Police said on Thursday, 8 October, that “a report is being compiled and will be submitted to the coroner, and his family has been informed.”

Ruhul Nana had been visiting Barmouth when he died on Bank Holiday Monday on 25 May.

An inquest into the teacher’s death opened on Thursday, 4 June in Caernarfon by North West Wales Senior Coroner Kate Robertson, who said Mr Nana, from Birmingham, was confirmed dead at Barmouth lifeboat station by a paramedic after he became “unresponsive” in the sea.

Emergency Services responded to reports of a man in the water at the beach shortly after 3pm that day.

Despite the best efforts of those who attended, the man was later pronounced dead.

Paying tribute at the time of the death, Ayoub Khan, MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said: “I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr Ruhul Nana, a highly respected member of staff and an exceptional Science teacher at The Broadway Academy within my constituency of Birmingham Perry Barr.

“Mr Nana made a lasting impact on so many young people through his dedication, kindness and passion for teaching. “He will be remembered fondly by students, colleagues and the wider community.

“My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, children, family, friends and everyone at Broadway School at this incredibly difficult time.”
