“He was found at around 7.45pm, when it was still light outside and on a fairly busy residential street, where there would’ve potentially been a number of vehicles and people around.
“I would ask anyone who was in the area at the time, who remembers seeing a man walking in the direction of the Filling Station, to please get in touch. Maybe you have dashcam footage, or live in the area and have CCTV footage or remember him walking past your house, and I would ask you to please think back and let us know if you have any information so we can find out what happened.”
