Detectives investigating the murder of a man in the gardens of a church have released CCTV of four men they want to speak to.
Greater Manchester Police shared the images of four men, all believed to be from the Merseyside area, who they want to speak to in relation to the murder of Steven McMyler.
Mr McMyler, 34, was fatally kicked in the head while being attacked in the gardens of Wigan Parish Church shortly before 7.50pm on Thursday, August 6.
He died at the scene and a murder investigation was launched by Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
Sharing a set of CCTV images on their Facebook page today, GMP say officers are keen to speak to four men they believe may hold significant information about the incident.
The men are believed to have travelled to Wigan from the Merseyside area and are seen pictured walking past a Chinese takeaway on Wallgate moments before Steven was attacked.
They were earlier pictured that evening at Southport train station and anyone with any information about the identity of the men is encouraged to contact police.
