A FINAL appeal has been launched for witnesses to a Hereford murder to come forward.

Police investigating the death of 17-year-old Daren Loader in the Great Western Way underpass near Whitecross Road last month believe there are witnesses who have yet to contact them.

In particular, police are looking for a man and woman with a bike seen near the underpass just after police arrived.

They also want to speak to another male and female walking in Eign Street, two youths coming out of the underpass and a man in his 40's, with long dark hair and a green coat, seen near the scene.

Detectives also want to trace a dark blue Ford Transit or VW Transporter-type vehicle seen driving up Ryelands Street from Whitecross Road around 10pm that night which may have swerved to avoid a man in the road.

Anyone with further information is urged to contact DC Philippa Johnson from the Operation Neutral Incident Room on 0300 333 3000.
