The people I want to hear from are those who may have seen an altercation between two males or a group of males beforehand but may not have realised what had happened. We are also appealing to people who may have CCTV or dash cam footage of the incident to come forward.

“Think carefully; were you in area around this time? Did you see anyone running from the scene or anyone who looked panicked? I would urge you to contact us with what you know as quickly as possible.”
