Police have released CCTV images of people - including this pair - as part of an investigation into the death of Jonty Evans

Police have released CCTV images of three people they wish to trace following the death of a teenager in a river in Cheshire.

Jonty Evans, 16, was last seen just before 01:00 BST on 31 August, walking along Waterlode in Nantwich, before crossing the road and entering Mill Island, near the junction of Mill Street.

He was found dead in the River Weaver near Riverside on 1 September.

Officers have since been working to establish the circumstances surrounding how he entered the water.

Cheshire Police said it was keen to speak to anyone who entered the Mill Island area or was in the vicinity of Riverside, known locally as "the beach", between 00.30 and 06:00 BST on 31 August.

Officers are looking to identify two people who were recorded entering Mill Island at about 00:53 BST and a man who exited on to Waterlode, walking towards Nantwich town centre, at 00:59 BST.

As well as two people recorded on CCTV walking together, police also wish to trace this man

“We believe that these people may hold crucial information and, as part of our ongoing inquiries, we are looking to identify them," said Det Insp Nigel Parr.

“If you know the identity of any of these people, or have any information regarding them, please contact us.

“We would also like to appeal directly to the people pictured to get in touch.”

Police have asked the public for help to identify those pictured
