An appeal to identify a number of vehicles has been made by police investigating a fatal stabbing in Derby.

Dale Martin, known as DJ, died in hospital after being attacked in Stenson Road at about 23:45 BST on 15 June.

Six people have been charged with murder over the 21-year-old's death, with a further two charged with assisting an offender.

Officers on Friday released a series of stills from CCTV footage showing a dark BMW and a moped they would like to trace.

Det Ch Insp Claudia Musson said: "As part of the ongoing investigation we have released footage from the evening of Sunday 15 June into the early hours of 16 June.

"Both vehicles were seen on Stenson Road and in the surrounding area. We would like to trace and speak to the drivers of these vehicles and any other vehicles in the area.

"We would also like anyone to contact us that may have seen a moped and two electric motorbikes, with multiple passengers, in convoy."

She added Mr Martin was thought to be travelling in a grey Renault Megane before the assault, which had "travelled in the direction of the Allenton triangle, Osmaston Road and towards the Foresters Business Park".

She asked for anyone with footage of this vehicle or from the attack to send footage to police.

"There are still items involved in the incident and clothing that may have been discarded that we would like to trace," she said.

"I am positive that people out there will have information that they haven't yet passed to us.

"I would personally like to encourage anyone with information that could help our investigation into this serious crime, where a young man tragically died, to contact us."
