Detectives investigating the alleged murder of a 26-year-old Carlisle man are continuing their request for the public’s help on the movements of a blue Citroen car involved in the investigation.

Officers probing the alleged murder of Lee McKnight are particularly interested in the movements of the vehicle -registration FY05 TFZ - in Carlisle city centre and the south and east areas of the city including Upperby, Currock and areas between Warwick Road and Botchergate.

The force is also extending their interest to routes around rural areas heading out of the city towards and in or around the areas of Durdar, Golden Fleece, Southwaite and Wreay and the A6 from Low Heskett into Carlisle.
